COMBAT® (1 OR 2 PLAYERS)

Arm yourself against the enemy with tanks, planes or jet fighters. Blast your opponent as many times as you can for the highest score. Heavy artillery includes missiles, rapid fire machine guns or single shots. Just keep in mind that the other guy has the same weapons you do. Good luck soldier!

Controls

Hold the controller with the red button to your upper left towards the TV screen. For all Tank variations, to move forward push the Joystick forward. To turn right, push the Joystick to the right. To move left, push the joystick to the left. The back positions have no effect on your tank.

To control your Bi-Plane for all Bi-Plane games, control the speed by moving your Joystick from the left (slowest) to the right (fastest). To dive, move the joystick forward, to climb, move it back.

In Jet-Fighter games, the speed of your Jet is controlled by moving your Joystick from the forward position (fastest) to the back position (slowest). Right and left turns are controlled by moving your Joystick from left to right.

Missile Action

Fire your missile by pushing the red button on your Joystick controller. In those games where the Missile action is described as “Straight,” the missile travels in a straight line. In “Guided” missiles games, the missile can be turned to follow your opponent by moving the Joystick to right or left after firing. For Tank-Pong games only, the missile will bounce off the walls and barriers.
