Gameplay

In ABM the player defends six east coast cities against an endless onslaught of nuclear ICBMs, using anti-ballistic missiles launched from five silos stations in between the cities.[3]

Reception

Bruce Webster reviewed ABM in The Space Gamer No. 43.[3] Webster wrote that "In the end, the question is whether or not you want to spend the money for another arcade game. If so, then I can recommend ABM to you with the above caveats."[3]

gollark: Even more than useful topics like category theory, or topology.
gollark: Linear algebra has ALL applications.
gollark: The gradient descent thing is basically moving down hills by going in whichever direction is slightly lower, except it's not hills it's higher-up regions in several million-dimensional abstract spaces of some kind.
