The game is a side-scrolling beat 'em up, taking place in Vietnam during the height of the Vietnam War.
As Colonel James Braddock, a captured POW, your mission is to escape from an internment camp, rescue captured POWs, free the American embassy, and kill the evil drug czar.
Had it been completed, Missing in Action would have been an impressive addition to the 7800 library.
As it stands, this prototype is about 85% complete and is quite playable.
About Atari 7800
The Atari 7800 (1986) was designed as a technical successor to the 2600 with backward compatibility for that console's cartridge library, but it launched years after being developed and struggled against the NES's dominance. Its brief commercial window means a relatively small original-game library, making complete 7800-exclusive titles a niche but approachable part of classic Atari collecting.
Gamevaro tracks Missing In Action for Atari 7800 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Missing In Action to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This A7800 release dates back to 1989.
