If you’ve ever listened to The Ted Dabney Experience podcast Tony Temple hosts with Richard May and our own Paul Drury, you’ll understand just how much Atari’s game means to him. Tony comes across in his podcast as being incredibly down-to-earth and extremely honest, which means that Missile Commander: A Journey To The Top Of An Arcade Classic, becomes a very engaging read, with Tony mentioning everything from the validity of Twin Galaxies scores, the hate mail he’s received, as well as the creation of the game – from design to finished cabinet – that he clearly loves so much. The end result is a genuinely fascinating read that highlights just what it takes to become a world champion.
