Description
CX-2601 Combat by Sears. Rarity 1 Common+ (possibly the 3rd most common). 2 players, 2 Joysticks. North America NTSC.
model# 99801 4975124 Tank Plus by Sears. 2 Common. North America NTSC.
Combat by Polyvox. Unknown rarity. South America NTSC.
Combat by Dynacom (pirate). Unknown rarity. Brazil NTSC.
Frontline by Zellers (pirate). Rarity 4 Scarce+. North America NTSC.
Game originally packaged with the Atari VCS on its launch.
First game EVER for Atari VCS. It required two players, as no artificial intelligence was developed. The gameplay is the same throughout the game (chase your enemy across the screen and destroy it), but there are 27 variations on it. It was pretty funny, especially in the levels with aircraft.
The first stereo video game for a home system ever?
