Missile Command for the Atari 2600 is missing a lot of the original's features, but still manages to be one of the best arcade ports among the system's early titles. It also hides an Easter egg, proving Warren Robinett (Adventure) wasn't the only one burying credits to get around Atari's "no credits" policy.

Select game variation 13, then let the game end without any score. This may take a couple of attempts, because all six cities have to be destroyed, and the missile base has to be hit three times, so that there will be no bonus at the end of the first level. If you're successful, "RF" will appear in the lower right corner. These are the initials of programmer Rob Fulop.
