The first video game about Combat mode was released on September 1981.
Some games may allow player to choose when to enter combat mode of their own volition, others dictate it for them.
This may include entering a special combat screen or combat field separate of the game world otherwise traversed in.
Any and all cases of automated battles do NOT count, regardless if they enter a special screen or playing field to show how it resolves.
This is NOT for simply pulling out your gun and holstering it whenever you like, nor entering a combat stance.
