Combat (Atari 1977)

[Meralis]

Thank you for uploading this. I have been trying to remember the name all day. My sister and I had so much fun playing this forever ago.

[PacGuy765]

I remembered playing that "COMBAT" game for the PC, when you fight in different tanks and this was the last one on the game, called "SENTE" which is unlocked by beating the game, then the boss run. The other 3 locked tanks are unlocked by finding a secret area in each of the 3 worlds

[dpla5762]

There really is nothing like flying on a torus!

[dpla5762]

I can still feel the joystick in my hand when I watch this. This is the first video game I ever played. Love it. I can't believe I can play it on my iphone now.

[svendiamond]

sick graphics

[HailAnts]

Come on! The guided missile mode is for sissies! And if you make the tanks butthump then turn one they start spinning in circles!

[SuperMaddgear]

fucking red player the bitch she fuckin useless

[Rubens1995able]

The blue spots at the middle are clouds??!

[Dmusic1970]

My brother and I use to spend hour playing this and never laughed so hard in our lives especially when you you start tattooing the other guy and he just spins and is set up for the next shot. I agree that todays games are way to complicated, stressful, and real. This I will take any day of the week and enjoy.

[EastCoastDude99]

@Dmusic1970, fuck yeah, this and Air-Sea battle were my two favorite atari games. I still have them both and the atari. Just need the accessories and I'll hook this up in my garage and play this with some friends while smoking some good bud.

[kewlfx]

Why the hell am I watching Atari videos at 1:50am?

[TheKaiserJack]

@kewlfx 'cause I'm awesome

[amazingdany]

So simplistic in graphics and gameplay but it was really fun.

I always thought that the big bomber vs 3 helicopters was not in favor of the bigger place. Unless I sucked.

[rantstudio66]

ide choose this game over call of duty anyday.

[Grayhatt]

Awesome video XD

[alwayscode390]

Now THIS brought back memories, WOW ---

[poshko41]

This game was scary as crap. All atari games were kinda freaky though. I remember sometimes when you'd die you'd appear right on top of the other tank. So damn scary!

[ThePoopcornMachine]

@poshko41

Until I read this comment, I thought I was the only one who was freaked out by Atari games when I was little (I still am a little creeped out by certain ones, actually...). Now I know that I am not alone!

[upinflamezzz]

You're playing where you can curve your bullets. I liked the bouncing bullets.

[SolarEXtract]

I grew up playing this game with my family. I never played a game so much in my life, but then there weren't very many great games back then that were this addictive.

[missbkwards2]

I have this one on my cellphone but it's a different version,of course,but i never though that the things are tanks xD!

I'm an ignorant i know .

[Akira625]

There's a little trick to the bi-plane version. When you're opponent hits you at close range, mash the fire button while your plane is spinning, and sometimes you will be able to score a hit on your opponent.

[AoFparson]

i think everybody who had a 2600 somehow had his game. i guess. i saw alot of copies. and even today you can have a fun time playing it.

[kenny582]

lol oh. too funny.

[Spierwan]

who is the fucking red player??

cause he is an asshole

[Umma6umma]

That's my wife you're talking about.

[Spierwan]

sorry man...

PDN NSL 14!!

[Umma6umma]

S'ok, she laughed at your comment and had to real defense against it. ;)

[Grayhatt]

@Umma6umma lmao

[clapnot1]

Reminds me of QW:ET Africa Campaign

[bmg0079]

This is great nostalgia! My brothers and I used to love this game. My favorite is the big bomber versus the three small planes.

[criticalage]

We've come along way since then...

[Monte1560]

I laugh so fuckin hard everytime I play this game..I don't know what it is but it's just so fuckin funny...specialy when ya got someone cornerd and ya got it timed just right to where ya can keep shootin the shit out of em'..lmao...funniest thing is knockin em' through to the other side of the screen..lm,ao

[pannoni1]

It was good, addicting until Battlezone came out, which was one of the VERY FIRST 3D video games!

[tacluvstoons]

me & my bro also played this for hours. At the time it was pretty cool.

[ButtercupTwinkle]

My brother and I would play this for hours at my grandma and grandpa's house! What a battle!

[astrosNLC]

This game rocked.

[fritskezowittenie]

This is funny as hell! :)

[kamesan]

one of my all-time fav ATARI versus games!

[thebig1]

Atari was ahead of its time in offering combat as the packin game. Think about it a cartridge with 5 games on it just to get you started with the system. It kind of reminds you of the nintendo wii with the packin game Wioi sports. Long live atari!!!

[Umma6umma]

Good point. Both smash hit systems show how valuable the pack-in game is!

[gscribs03]

Awesome! One of my first video games ever!!! And I didn't have to spend 25 cents per game!

[ericaesop]

my cousen found a fully boxed vcs in an abandoned building and we played this alot when i was little lol but i guess when a 7 year old is versing a 40 year old who grew up with this fine console who would you expect lol .

fuck ps3 and 360. give this 16 year old his atari

[Umma6umma]

Wow, you were lucky. My parents had to run all over the place to find me a VCS back in 1980, they eventually had to cross the border to find one, and it cost like $400!

[thebig1]

I got Pacman as my packin game.

[Umma6umma]

Yeah, they changed the pack-in game to Pac-Man when they renamed the unit from the VCS to the 2600 in 1982.

[upinflamezzz]

This game came with the Atari. This is with the slow tanks. It sucked playing like this. You had to set it up where the ball bounced off the walls. Plus never play one plane against one plane. I always used to get my bother to take the big plane and I took the three little ones grouped together.

[royalsteven]

Can u play this one against the computer? Cause i have this one on my pc but the other tank won't move.

[Umma6umma]

Nope. You'll need to go out and make at least one friend to play against.

[gopconservative94]

This was my first video game

[amazingdany]

My very first console game EVER.

[milfin5]

THE RED ONE SUCKS

[Umma6umma]

That's my wife you're talking about.

[juaquino]

@Umma6umma Yeah... but she really does suck.

She probably sucks better at other things... ;-)

[1k9i9n0g]

@Umma6umma lol, seriously she does 'suck' but thats probably cuz we are joking, xD.

Oh, these games just bring in the memories.

[lytedarkness]

@Umma6umma

So only on weekends and vacations days, huh?

[RkivUnderground]

@milfin5 0:54 - 1:03

[gillyssquashball]

pathetic from both players.

Shameful combatting.

[figment1988]

This game was one of morgan webb's first games

[titovincenzo]

yeah! me and my brother's first system and game!!! hours of fun lol!!! nice one!

[jaydude28]

this one is classic, to funny

[Jimmyhendrick2]

My uncle (who's a week younger than me) used to play Combat alot. He ALWAYS beat me, so I learned to fight dirty in the game!

[assmonkey73]

the red one is geting powned

[tickle155]

wow 1 of the first games we had for the atari

[meidc]

Probably the first videogame I got to play in of life. I could be wrong, i was so young back then.

[KomaruMedare]

Man, I love Combat. I currently have it on an emulator. What's best of all is that you can even get a program to make your own courses.

[Pudlis16]

Truly Retro

[Autobahn2006]

best damn game for Atari

[Umma6umma]

Yeah, they couldn't have packed a better one into the VCS, it's like Wii Sports for the Wii, heh.

[nickschuyler]

How about the one where you stabbed the large ducks with the arrow so you could get the flashing Holy Grail? That one rocked.

God, I still fear bats are gonna steal my magnet whenever I'm walking through a lime green corridor.

[Plasternik]

I like the Kraftwerk soundtrack for this game ;)

[KomaruMedare]

Haha! XD
