Classic Game Room HD reviews ARMOR ATTACK for Vectrex from 1982. Armor Attack was originally from Cinematronics, Incorporated and released in the arcades in 1980 as a stand up, coin-op arcade machine. Armor Attack plays well on the Vectrex with one button firing and the other working the gas, the remaining two buttons on the Vectrex controller steer but they are useless because the joystick also steers (and does it better). The Armor Attack overlay is boring and merely colors the lines green while adding some junk onto the screen representing a town. Those who enjoy Combat on the Atari 2600 may get a kick out of the GCE version of tank / jeep based combat. Not a clone of Combat, Armor Attack plays like a cross between Berzerk and Asteroids, with enemies attack from the sides and a pesky helicopter that flies in like Evil Otto. This CGR review of Armor Attack on Vectrex has gameplay from Armor Attack on Vectrex showing game play in HD.

  • @InecomCompany I'm so jealous ^^

  • "Combat is best played with two players" ... uh, that's pretty much the only way to play Combat, unless you like to shoot stationary targets that no one is controlling. Armor..Attack adds much needed opposing AI to the mix, not that Combat isn't a blast to play with a friend.

  • WOW look how smooth that tank moves! No lagging at all. Maybe the Vectrex looks big, but it sure is quality!

  • MARK YOU MISSSPELLED HAWK!
