RE: Odd Missile Command?

The original proto had the taller marquee with lights on it to serve some
sort of in-game function. It was removed due to players being distracted and
for being somewhat redundant to the gameplay itself. I'm not sure exactly
what purpose it served. I think it had a warning system of lights when you
were about to lose a city or when a missile base was getting low, but I'm
not 100% sure.

Subject: RASTER: Odd Missile Command?

Does anyone know the story about a missile command with a much taller
marquee? There is a picture of it in the February 1983 issue of
Electronic Games. THe fire buttons also appear to be white leaf
switches.
