Description

Combat Atari 2600

Combat is a classic Atari 2600 launch title that offers 27 different game variations, primarily focused on two-player battles using tanks, biplanes, or jet fighters. It was famously included as a pack-in game with most Atari 2600 consoles from 1977 to 1982.

Gameplay and Features

Game Modes: The game is predominantly designed for two-player head-to-head competition, though a single-player practice mode is available.
Vehicles: Players can select from tanks, biplanes, or jet fighters for their combat scenarios.
Game Variations: There are 27 different game options available on a single cartridge, which introduce elements such as:
- Different Playfields: Options range from open fields to simple or complex mazes.
- Weapon Types: Variations include straight missiles, guided missiles, and bouncing bullets (in tank mode).
- Invisible Vehicles: Some modes feature invisible tanks or planes that only become visible for a brief moment after firing.
- Aircraft Formations: In biplane and jet modes, players can select one-on-one combat, two-on-two squadrons, or a single player in a bomber against three fighters.
Scoring: Matches are typically timed for 2 minutes and 16 seconds, and players score points by hitting their opponent; the player with the most hits at the end wins.
Controls: Gameplay relies on the standard Atari 2600 joystick, with specific control mechanics for different vehicles (e.g., controlling speed in aircraft modes, or manoeuvring in tank modes)
