tjlazer Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Stumbled on an early version of Missile Command from 1986. It's not the same as the normal one from 1987. The game runs but for some reason the fire button doesn't work. Can't fire missiles. Anyone seen this version before?

ParanoidLittleMan Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Never heard about. Fire problem is most likely TOS version related. Will check it tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParanoidLittleMan Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Strange controls for game: fire is activated by keys Q and S - and yes, only when they are capital, so need to press Caps shift that it work . That self is already weird, and more is that not mouse buttons are used for fire. Maybe they just did not have good enough DOCs about IKBD programing ? And this works with AUTO run, monochrome mode too ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjlazer Posted February 26, 2021 Author Share Posted February 26, 2021 Ah yes CAPS LOCK and Q, S, and X. Weird! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParanoidLittleMan Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Added some extra code for mouse: MISSC86.ZIP Commands: F1 - start game F2 - toggle 1-2 player mode F3 - Bonus on/off 0-9 - Set level skip count In play: F4 - abort game Q - fire missile from left silo S - fire missile from middle silo X - fire missile from right silo But first must press Caps shift for above 3 to work. I added code for left and middle silo fire with left and right mouse button, for easier play. Plus, response is made faster by some change in code. Works in color and monochrome mode.
