Classic Game Room reviews COMBAT for the Atari 2600

Classic Game Room season 1 - 1/20/2000

If you look up the word "Old School" in the dictionary you'll see a picture of this game. It was made for the legendary Atari 2600 in 1978, way before such things as motorized horseless carriages, World War I and light beer. It was probably made before your parents even met.

Game Room reviewed Atari, NES, Nintendo, Sega Genesis, Dreamcast and Playstation... too bad they didn't get to Xbox 360, PS3, PS2 or Wii.

He said that the PS2 was the ugliest system ever developed, and now he's nowhere to be found on CGR? I think there's a connection!

Fun Fact: Mario (yes, THAT Mario) is in this game. This is actually his very very VERY true first appearance in video game history. He actually controls the blue tank.

mother of god.. that's the game. i was 4 years old, my older brother set up a video game console in the garage downstairs. I was so excited, we played together for days. Its just a vague blurry memory of tanks and a joystick... so happy. Warm, safe.
