+miscom (textmode Missile Command clone)
+
+In miscom you must defend cities from missile attack. You do this by
+launching missiles of your own (in a point-and-blast fashion) to destroy
+the enemy missiles before they land.
+
+Miscom is a curses-based game, so it should work on any terminal. (You'll
+need 9600 baud or better for it to be playable.) It supports colour
+and sound.
+
+Miscom is an older game that uses OSS for audio. By default, this script
+links with libaoss, which allows the game to make sound without having
+OSS modules loaded. If you for some reason want to disable this (e.g. if
+you run OSSv4 for audio), export AOSS=no in the script's environment.
