kinda WEIRD that this turned out to be the most realistic war simulator ever created

I always wondered how Atari managed to hang on for as long as they did despite losing crazy amounts of money. Did they get some off books DOD money?

Not that strange. When you look at the math of long range missiles it's just sort of how it works.

Like Wayfair has had lots of moments when the math and knowledge of how war would look was hundreds of years ahead of reality.

See the math for accurate artillery being ahead of the communication and and material science to deliver the shells.

atari's arcade business was completely separate from the rest of that disastrous company. this is why none of the cool shit used in their atari arcade boards ever made it to their computers or consoles, only shit ports of games.

The Atari name and IP has been sold over and over again. The legal entity that created Missile Command has been gone for a very long time. The Commodore name is currently up for sale if you want to own it for some reason.

Early arcade trackball games were the best!
