Combat

1977 · Atari 2600 · Atari, Inc.

Combat is a shooter video game developed and published by Atari, Inc. as a launch title for the 1977 Atari Video Computer System. Two players, controlling either tanks, biplanes, or jets, fire missiles at each other for two minutes and sixteen seconds. Points are scored by hitting the opponent, and the player with more points when the time runs out wins. Variations on the gameplay introduce elements such as invisible vehicles, missiles that ricochet off of walls, and different playing fields. Synopsis from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA.
