Guided Missile
导弹
Guided Missile is a 1977 arcade action game developed by Midway. Players control missile launchers positioned at opposite ends of the screen, firing guided projectiles at each other in a two-player competitive format. Each player steers their missiles mid-flight, attempting to hit the opponent while dodging incoming fire. The game supports two simultaneous players, making head-to-head competition the central experience. Controls involve aiming and guiding missiles using joystick or directional inputs. The gameplay is straightforward and fast-paced, with rounds ending when a player scores a successful hit. Midway released this title during the early growth period of competitive arcade games, offering a simple but direct dueling mechanic that kept players engaged through the challenge of controlling projectiles in motion.
