Defense Command-Missile Command flaw

Defense Command was definitely not based on Missile Command, they are not even remotely similar.

-er

What does the -er suffix mean? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.119.92.43 (talk) 17:47, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's a pun on the classic song Clementine: "In a cavern, in a canyon, lived a miner, forty-niner..." JIP | Talk 19:56, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Of course, the original phrase "forty-niner" comes from the California Gold Rush of 1849. This game takes place in 2049, 200 years later. ✰^oaoɪɪ/talk 05:14, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Mobile version?

The article has a picture of a mobile version. What platform? I looked in the Android Market, but couldn't find it.108.23.147.17 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 07:04, 5 December 2011 (UTC).[reply]

Re-write

Did a big re-write of the article. I know some material is missing a bit (publishers of the many versions of the game in the infobox etc.), but I've tried to just expand more pertinent details now. I'm a bit too young to remember when this game was all the rage, but I tried to do some justice for what appears to have been a really big deal at one point. Thoughts?
