2014: Missile Command meets Core Wars on the C64

This is wonderful - a tiny game for the C64, not entirely unlike Missile Command, where the damage to be avoided is damage to the game’s own code and data.

$2000-$3fff was made for the Ludum Dare #31 Game Jam in December 2014. It is actually more than just a game. Some of you will say it’s crap, but we would point out that it’s both a game and a piece of art. The idea and concept is actually great.

$2000-$3fff is a Commodore 64 program which displays its entire memory on the screen, then draws missiles into it. Use a joystick in port 1 to target your dangerous explosive weapon. If you don’t have a C64 handy, feel free to use an emulator like VICE. Defend program data and program code.
