The folks at Intellivision Entertainment posted this YouTube video yesterday, featuring a "deep dive" look at Missile Command for Amico:
I must say that this game looks surprisingly good. While the entire video is over 20 minutes long, most of you can get a good understanding about the features of this game in the first 7 minutes.
The developers have included a wealth of gameplay customization options, covering single-player and multiplayer modes, and encompassing different skill levels. They play a two-player cooperative game throughout much of the second half of the video, which shows how the difficulty gradually ramps up. It's easy-going at first, but becomes quite intense as you get through 15 to 20 waves.
Although many people have criticized the amateurish and simplistic look of many Amico games in development, this game stands above most of the other efforts on the system, with sharp graphics and great sound work. There's a level of polish here that I hope to see in a greater number of future Amico games.
The effort they've put into this game is commendable. The game as a whole looks like it would be welcome on any system, although this version of Missile Command is exclusive to Amico, and the current game design is tied tightly to the Amico controllers.
What do you think about this game? Would you want to see more Amico games with this apparent level of quality?
