OK.. I guess they even offer their old audio dramas for free on the web:

Ahha.. her we go. Someone actually took some pictures of said audio-drama and a read-along book that I forgot it came with. :)

So it’s not at all unusual to imagine a movie for that one. And yes–there apparently was even one for Asteroids. :P

Actually, Atari DID release a sort of audio-drama cassette tape for Missile Command way back in the early 80’s and, as I recall, it wasn’t bad. I actually had a copy. (Might even still have it somewhere in my cellar.) Had something to do with bad diplomacy between aliens and human settlements.

Screw Asteroids.

Missile Command. Now that would make a good movie.

They should port out the original game to allow an unlimited number of players on a digital cinema screen where everyone controls their ship with the iPhone. Now THAT would make the megaplexes a fun place to go!
