COMBAT II(TM) (2 PLAYERS)

Take it up a notch with this previously unreleased sequel to Atari's original smash hit Combat(TM)! Compete against your partner for control of an expansive terrain, where strategy plays as big a part as pure guts. Think you've got what it takes to be the last one standing?

All Out Tank Warfare

Each player starts in their home base with three of their own Super Tank equipped with three layers of armor. You can tell how low your armor level is by the color of your tank and by the tank picture in the status bar located at the bottom of the screen.

Each player's tank fires standard tank shells as well as a special homing cruise missiles. While your cruise missiles are very powerful weapons, they also require lots of manpower to operate. Consequently you can only fire cruise missiles from your home base, and it takes time for home base crew to load a new one. Each tank shell will lower your enemy's armor level by one, and a cruise missile hit will lower it by two.

Your home base as well as the surrounding forests and brick walls provide minimal cover from enemy shells. However the forests are susceptible to tank fire and will begin to disappear as they're shot, so don't count on them to help you for long!

Controls

Use your Joystick to move your tank by pressing it right, left, up, or down. Your Joystick’s fire button fires tank shells, or cruise missiles if located at your home base.
