Combat is the home presentation of a few [[Atari]] arcade games that were available at the time of the 2600's release, including Tank and Jet Fighter. Tank was actually distributed under the publisher name Kee Games, which was a company that Nolan Bushnell purposely created to "compete" with Atari (they routinely shared technology and information) for the expressed purpose of breaking up the exclusivity that arcade distributors had with arcade publishers at the time. | Combat is the home presentation of a few [[Atari]] arcade games that were available at the time of the 2600's release, including Tank and Jet Fighter.

Naturally, as a first generation game on a first generation console, Combat is noticeably primitive. Despite the aged look that it has, it is still surprisingly fun to play with another player, since you are pit against another human being, not the computer. The controls are simple and easy to comprehend. | Naturally, as a first generation game on a first generation console, Combat is noticeably primitive.
