Toronto-based indie game developers Mighty Yell and 13AM Games have collaborated to revive the classic Atari game Missile Command with a new version titled Missile Command Delta. The game, which launches on various platforms on July 8, adopts a turn-based approach, diverging from the original real-time arcade style. The developers, led by Dave Proctor of Mighty Yell and Tom McCall of 13AM Games, have incorporated a strategic deck-building mechanic to enhance gameplay. The narrative focuses on a modern-day group of young campers who discover a Cold War bunker, adding a fresh perspective to the original game’s themes. This collaboration highlights the strength of the Ontario game development community, supported by government funding that allows for creative innovation.
