Along with the play styles there were also mazes to choose from including an empty field, a simple maze and a complex maze. There was also an Invisible Tank in which the players would be invisible except for a brief few seconds after firing, and Invisible Tank Pong option. There were various types of shots a player could have depending on which level they chose, including straight missiles, guided missiles, and Tank Pong in which the shots would bounce off the walls, with variations upon whether a direct hit could strike their opponent, or a strike required a billiard hit. The player with the higher score would win. The Tank game in Combat had the basis of two tanks controlled by players each moving around a playing field and shooting the other player until time ran out. Combat was programmed by Joe Decuir and Larry Wagner.Ĭombat boasted having 27 games in one, which were all variations on the tank, biplane, and jet gameplay. Atari also produced a version of Combat for Sears titled Tank Plus (alluding to the original arcade game Tank). The biplane and jet games also allowed for variation, such as multiple planes per player and an inventive game with a squadron of planes versus one giant bomber. The tank games had interesting options such as bouncing munitions ('Tank-Pong') and invisibility. The 27 game modes featured a variety of different combat scenarios, including tanks, biplanes, and jet fighters. Unlike the Coleco game, Combat had color graphics and numerous gameplay variations. Combat was based on two earlier black-and-white coin-operated arcade games produced by Atari: Tank (published under the Kee Games name) in 1974 and Anti-Aircraft II in 1975.Įarlier in 1977, Coleco had released the similarly titled Telstar Combat!, an entry in its Telstar series of dedicated consoles.
It was released as one of the nine launch titles for the system in September 1977, and was included in the box with the system from its introduction until 1982.
