Combat

The purest PvP experience in the history of video games.  At some point Grant got a 2600 and everyone would crowd into his room and later his basement for the most local of all local area networks.  Tanks, Jets, and Biplanes were locked in perpetual war.  Pure competition, pure aggression, pure combat.

  1. Definitely a good one. Other great Atari 2600 games I enjoyed were: Starmaster (yeah, I googled it), Superman, Circus, Zaxxon, Video Olympics, and Air-Sea Battle.

  2. Check out these visualizations of 2600 roms. Combat is pretty interesting (its the smalled of those shown.)
