Play Anti Ballistic Missile Online

Remember those old MS-DOS games that somehow made a few pixels and beeps feel like life-or-death situations? Anti Ballistic Missile is exactly that—a frantic, sweat-inducing scramble to stop nuclear warheads from turning your cities into craters. You're basically playing global thermonuclear war with a keyboard, and it's way more intense than it has any right to be.

No tutorials, no hand-holding—just a radar screen, a handful of missile silos, and incoming blips that move way too fast. The first time I played, I panicked and launched everything at once (bad idea). Turns out, you actually need to think ahead, like some kind of Cold War-era chess match where the pieces explode. The sound of a city getting wiped out still haunts me a little.

It's one of those games where you'll fail spectacularly for an hour, then suddenly everything clicks and you feel like a genius... right before getting overwhelmed again. Perfect for when you want that raw, unfiltered DOS-era challenge. Just don't be surprised if you start seeing missile trajectories when you close your eyes.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
