Taking things further, you can daisy-chain more fireworks in, and even add different-coloured ones to your displays to earn more points. Any fireworks you miss fall off the screen and deplete the Play Meter. For those of us who grew up on wood-panelled cars, corduroy, and home haircuts, Fantavision plays a lot like Missile Command.
