Simple, fun, and unmatched

User Rating: 7.6 | Combat 2600
All of our classic gaming comes from the Atari. With classics like Pac Man and Asteroids, it is impossible not to like this system. Combat is definitely my favorite game on the 2600. It involved tanks, planes, and jumbo planes. What's not to like?

So the game is very basic in gameplay. The goal is to hit the other player more than they hit you. Now, there is no computer player to go up against, so you need to find someone to play with. The tank games include a couple different maps, but the variations make it interesting. You can be invisible except when you shoot, have shots bounce off the walls, or have to get a direct shot to score a point. The planes are a little different. You will be in constant motion, but there are no obstacles. Instead, you change direction, speed up and slow down, and shoot your opponent with either a single plane, two planes, three planes, or a jumbo jet.

Fun, just plain fun.
