I used to work with a guy who got his start at Atari, right out of Berkeley. He did the hardware design on Missile Command. Supporting what Ed Rotberg said in the article, he was a "make love not war" type. When you lose all the cities in Missile Command, the game ends with a big message "THE END". He would have liked to make a more overt message decrying the madness of nuclear weapons, so they settled on a subtle protest. "THE END" appears inside a stop sign octagon.
