Following the same premise as with the original arcade game, the player must defend six cities in their zone from being destroyed as a regional commander of three anti-missile batteries by attacking an endless hail of ballistic missiles, some of which split like multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles, with new weapons being introduced in later levels.
Missile Command 3D received mixed to positive reception since its release but it has been recently referred by publications like PC Magazine as one of the best titles for the system. A port for the PC was planned to be published by Atari Interactive, but was never released.
