Mostly competent ports of two games we've already seen in this collection a million other times. Those bombs that start dropping from the planes(?) in missile command are way too fast to react to, though.

Capable Lynx versions of two all-timer classics from the back catalog, but Missile Command fares a lot better than Asteroids, which is too cramped on the handheld screen.

Playing Through My Evercade Collection Part 13: Atari Lynx Collection 1
Eh. I mean I cant exactly say these are bad by any means, both the ports of these arcade games are certainly fine and dandy and work well if you absolutely have to play these on a Lynx but there's something kind of cold and clinical about them, be it the weird slow stage transitions in Super Asteroids or the barebones sound design.
Again, I'm not saying these are 'bad' at all and clearly this was a sort of hail mary on Atari's part for the Lynx but its so by the numbers and soul-less.

The missile command port feels like aiming is more slow than the arcade but other than that, they feel very similar to the arcade games aside from minor powerups. Works fine but also feel like they could've evolved more in all the years since the original arcade games.
