378.0. "Missile Command" by ELWOOD::PETERS () Sun Mar 15 1987 04:42

    
    	Because a request in note 349.?? I have ARCed and loaded 
    Missile Command in my area. It is Public domain and came from
    FF disk 50. One file explosion.sound has a name too long for
    ARC so I renamed it to explos.sound . The game has great sound
    effects. You have to use a pull down menue to load them.

    I used Kermit to upload the files.

378.1How does it run?MORRIS::SMCAFEESteve McAfeeSun Mar 15 1987 17:0411
    
    Missile.arc doesn't contain the exe for missile.  Everything else
    downloaded ok though.
    
    The anticipation is killing me.

    re .0
    
    Thanks for your time and effort.  The FF disks are a little slow
    in hitting my supplier so I'm only up to ~46 now.

    	I'll check the arc tonight and put up a new one if it is missing
    the main missile program. The main program is called "missile".

378.5Got it.ANGORA::SMCAFEESteve McAfeeWed Mar 18 1987 12:1313
    Steve,
    
    Thanks for uploading missile command it works great.
    
    I can't seem to get more than 2000.  Do you understand how the
    the missiles are allocated?  How do the left and right mouse buttons
    differ?  Sometimes I seem to have a lot of missiles and other times
    I run out right away.
    
    regards,

378.6ELWOOD::PETERSWed Mar 18 1987 13:3413
    
    	The screen contains the standard 5 cities and two mountains.
    The atackers fire missiles at all seven objects. The right and left
    mouse buttons fire defense missiles from the right and left mountains.
    If a city is hit it is distroyed. If a mountain is hit it loses
    all it's missiles ( no more mouse button, no more defense ).
    
    	Do you load the sound files  ( menue option ) ??  I think they
    are the best part of the game.

Missile is a blast.  The only thing I don't like
is the yell that preceeds each wave, to the point where
I don't load the sounds.

Thanks for making it available !

378.8A copy of the .ARC?UFP::WICKERTRay Wickert - MAA Worksystems ConsultantThu Aug 06 1987 15:535

378.9Missile woes.........IVOGUS::BAGUEOpen the pod bay doors, HAL................Wed Mar 16 1988 20:204
    I recently downloaded Missile Command from MVCAD3 everything seems
    to run OK except for one thing.  When I select the menu entry for
    loading sounds, it comes back with the message "unable to load sounds".
    Anybody else have a problem like this?  
378.10 KYOA::WEGERBruce WegerThu Mar 17 1988 00:384
    Try renaming Explos.sound to explosion.sound.
    
    It did the trick for me.
    
378.11Make sure sounds are in CD dirAIKITS::WISNERWed Apr 13 1988 17:034
    re.9
    
    Also be sure the current default directoy contains the sounds. 
    You might try starting from CLI to be sure of this.
378.12help needed with missile commandJENEVR::SNIDERMon Jun 20 1988 19:577
    I just recently pulled missile command off of notes, but I have
    a problem.  When ever I startup missile command, I barely see a
    startup screen and then it jumps into the main game screen.  After the
    game starts, I fire once, and then everything freezes.  No mouse movement
    and I have to reboot to do anything.  Could this me a hardware problem?
