If you disagree with that statement, you didn’t spend enough time playing arcade games in the 80’s and thus you speak from insufficient experience 🙂
Anyway I mention this because I’ve been playing with a pretty decent riff on the Missile Command theme this week, Strategic Oil Reserve.
Dave's Place/Metamusing 
As a consolation prize for Mac or Linux folks who can’t play strategic oil reserve, go check out the free, open source Penguin Command:

, which is a straight up port of the original missile command. It runs on all platforms, including windows.
