RE: Missile Command, Andreas writes: 
there are many different versions available... I know the old Atari 800 
cart version, which works correct with Joystick and Trakball, but not at 
all with a mouse. The newer XL version works with Mouse, trackball and 
Joystick, also the newest (built-in) XEGS version of MC. But, there is 
also a tape version (and maybe a disk version) of MC available. I am not 
sure if this tape version behaves like the old 800 version or like the 
newer XL and XE/XEGS versions... 
 
And about mice, Andreas adds: 
Maybe you did not know, there is a little difference between Trackball 
and ST-mouse. Although MC works with both input devices does not mean, 
they are the same. they are not !! Connect the TB to an ST computer and 
you see: it does not work at all !! You have to do a small conversion to 
convert the TB to an ST mouse. (Plans are avaiable from ABBUC, Germany).
