Missile Command Takes Aim

[GregMO ROberts]

With just about every popular video game, new or old, getting developed as a film, the turn of Missile Command has come around at last.Aiming to combine nostalgia-fed fandom with sci-fi action, Atari is negotiating with 20th Century Fox the likely home for an adaptation of the game, a staple of the old 2600 machine and beloved of classic game fans everywhere.While the visual look of the game – basic, to say the least, with lines representing the missiles and a cursor as your line of defence – the storyline of a conflict in a far off galaxy between the forces of Krytol and Zardon could conceivably be updated for a new action premise, though we’d guess any film-making team might choose to have the death-from-above threat relocate our own blue marble.

I would love to see this Black Hole, raiders of the atlantis style.
