ICBM3D ("Inter-Continental Ballistic Missiles, 3D") is a 3D game of defense.
|
|
|
|
Like the original "Missile Command" and its clones, this game places you in
|
|
control of Anti-ICBM weapons which you use to destroy an onslaught of
|
|
missiles (and other nasties) which are dropping onto your nation.
|
|
|
|
The game ends when your cities have all been destroyed. You only gain
|
|
replacement cities by acheiving certain score thresholds during each attack
|
|
(level).
|
|
|
|
The main difference between this game and Missile Command is that ICBM3D,
|
|
as the name suggests, provides a 3D perspective. You take advantage
|
|
of X-Window's 3-button mouse to control your firing sight ("cross-hair")
|
|
in 3-dimensions, and change your viewpoint.
