Of course - BUT you get 1 extra missile for every other level of the caster. In other words: At level 1 you got 1 missile, at level 3 you got 2 missiles and so on (up till 5 missiles of each 1d4+1 damage, when you reach level 9 (if I remember correctly)). These missiles are fired from the same spell (ie. takes 1 round and consumes 1 memorized spell/scroll). In BG you can see that in the animation of the spell too (that was what make me thinking [img]smile.gif[/img] ).
In the AD&D description of the spell, you can send all those missiles at one target or different targets (which is a very good idea, if you encounter a group of spell casters. Magic missile is fired at initiative + 1 and always hits/gives damage and therefor disturbs the enemy spell caster (you have to 'win' the initiative though)).
