Missle Defense

The very much misspelled "Missle Defense" was a very early game of mine from 1982, written in Applesoft BASIC. It uses the joystick to control the crosshair and your mission is to shoot down the enemy missiles (ala Missile Command). On higher levels the missiles come in faster and you have turrets on multiple edges of the screen.

Still, it was not fun.
