Arcade Classic No. 1: Asteroids/Missile Command Game Boy Color

Arcade Classic No. 1: Asteroids/Missile Command includes two solid arcade ports that fans of the respective games will find little fault with. Asteroids offers three levels of difficulty and the ability to play using classic or updated graphics, the latter of which feature spinning, textured rocks similar to those found in Blasteroids. Missile Command has two missile silos instead of three, but it offers something new: a variety of recognizable cities to protect, including New York and Cairo, Egypt. In terms of audio, the games do a relatively good job of evoking the original titles, especially the warning signal that begins each level in Missile Command and the deep explosions found in Asteroids. Music, which was absent in the original games, and coin-op-style borders, which appear when the games are played on the ~Super Game Boy, have been added to enhance the overall experience. ~ Brett Alan Weiss, All Game Guide
