Laser Command

Laser Command is a 1–2 player arcade game for the BBC Micro.

The player controls the target for a laser base at the bottom center of the screen, attempting to shoot down incoming missiles that threaten their cities. The player is also armed with mines that can be placed and then detonated at a later time. If the laser base is destroyed, the player can no longer return fire. This can be rebuilt for a loss of 10 missiles.

At the end of each bombardment the player receives bonus points for remaining cities and laser power. If all cities are destroyed it's game over. There are nine levels of difficulty, and the player can choose to combat dumb or smart bombs. Smart bombs move randomly about the screen. There is also an option for spaceships that appear and fire at the cities.
