[@rambling123456]

loved playing combat, but you're right--it is only fun on two-player....love those salmon-colored and lime-colored jets!!!

[@andrewf0784]

The game play and graphics are simple but they did a great job getting as much as they could out of what they had to work with. Despite its simplicity, it is still quality.

[@Tw1stedMoogle]

I Love this game, definitely one of my fav 2600 games. I Remember sitting in the basement playing my Atari on an old barely working TV because my parents were worried it would mess up the main TV.... lol. Great review as always. 5/5

[@TheTechnoBroz]

Fun as hell to play with friends.

[@thegamesbrotherssvk5135]

TheTechnoBroz true

[@sparky14624]

A friend of mine got a 2600 way back when (around 1979). We had a blast playing Combat! About a year later I bought one of my own. Again, a roommate and I wasted lots of fun hours on this console. I sold it a few years later. Wish I never had. But I saw one on eBay a couple years ago, bid on it and won. 100+ carts; works great! It's great having such an important piece of video game history.

[@MrDaveyboy125]

The original Call of Duty!

[@MilesEdgeworth129]

No, the original Call of Duty... JACKS! ...Get the reference?

[@milutinndv]

You mean World of Tanks and World of Warplanes?

[@pex_the_unalivedrunk6785]

I'd say Outlaw was more like COD, Combat was the first Battlefield.

[@TheMegaNerd]

man i love your atari reviews man. short and to the point.

[@Noyjeetut]

Looks really fun. Without your review I would have never known about it: Thanks.

[@bosiex]

Excellent and thorough review, you are the best reviewer on youtube sir

[@hakkujin]

The dual bi-planes was our favorite because your left could hit their right. You didn't have to be as precise.

[@RealSuperNintendan]

Hey.. the Atari 2600 was launched in August 1977 (along with Combat) not in October 1977. This has long been debated until someone was selling a gatefold copy of Combat that included a Sears receipt from 08-77 on eBay. However.. the remaining 8 or so “launch games” did indeed release October 1977.

[@Max_Daix]

Muy lindo juego de competencia pura! Lo jugaba de niño y lo sigo jugando cuando viene algún amigo!

[@Basssinger86]

i actually played this game for the first time last night with a friend. The controls take some getting used to but overall it was very fun to play.

[@UNKN8WN1973]

Back in the day!! Brings back memories!

[@kamikaze9699]

The 3 biplanes vs 1 bomber mode is more for a novice to take on a pro- much like how some modern shooters give you the option to have multiple opponents against a single player. Being the bomber is just saying "I'm THAT hardcore!"

[@DRock1042]

I loved trapping my friend in the corner and shooting him over and over Then I'd rage when he did it to me...lol

[@tvtimetravel]

@angelpichu1 2 minutes and 16 seconds. The last 16 seconds are indicated when the scores flash on each second.

[@GiordanDiodato]

I wanna see you try out Crypts of Chaos. Also, the Famicom had a longer lifespan.

[@RottenPizzaProductions]

I love it when the vehicles spaz out after they die. XD

[@OmeedNOuhadi]

Awesome!!!

[@johnlaughnfaggapples]

Is the title song to your vid SnakeFinger?

[@shebakoby]

Did you know that in tank levels with corners, you can warp to another corner with your tank?

[@chriscancer13]

Me and my cousins used to play this all summer when we'd visit my grandma.

[@thesteamguy6171]

This doesn't look or sound like a 2008 video, gg dude.

[@uchihadante77]

Would you review Age of Empires 2?

[@KurtKokaine1]

Another classic. I wonder if my dad had gotten this packaged with the Atari console? I don't remember when he actually bought the Atari. One strange thing though. I really don't remember the planes in this game. Maybe I was too young to figure out the different modes. Although I do remember the being invisible mode, lol. Damn this was truly groundbreaking for my childhood.

[@AbrasivMusic]

An excellent review. As classic as the game

[@alanlaing8486]

great review.....thank you...

[@naijainnit]

The good ol' days!!!!

[@mpicewe3023]

Loved this game

[@twenty4hell]

Wish i could have played that game again, so many memories :/

[@PCpete101]

I got an Atari to. I feel the same way man.

[@boogieedownberlin]

I am pretty sure this was the first game I ever played after my elder brother bought the Atari in 79 (could've been 80). Boy did we spend hours upon hours playing with it :)

[@PatrikStarFunk]

My first game ever played in 1978!😃

[@mobyboy]

wow ! ONE HELL OF HISTORY

[@babygirltessa]

brings back some good memories, my brother and I would play this and cuss each other out for hours. good times!

[@angelpichu1]

where is the time limit? is it an invisible bar i can't see?

[@macker33]

Far as i remember controls for the biplanes and jets was different

[@Crankthatsonicboy]

@tomcolordo you mean black ops ?

[@Bjorick]

how about: it's never as much fun to play with yourself then to have someone else play with you! :D

[@MilesEdgeworth129]

That could be taken in a number of ways...

[@Bjorick]

@@MilesEdgeworth129 and yet, still true :D

[@mamba5445]

thats so true! ^^

[@wilthomas]

I LOVED this game.

[@radiohavana99]

I was about to say that!

[@PathofCultivation]

the birth of deathmatch

[@tinywentz]

good times!

[@Cleonares]

It coud be my firs video game ever!! wow just 4 yerars old Que grande el Atari 2600!!!!!!

[@MikeBiddle]

3:04 freudian slip?

[@aragorn100000]

@AqualungGameReviews aqualung?

[@dasparado]

First game I ever played!

[@larrythebatmanfan]

Combat is a great game on Atari 2600.

[@Saxysaboy77]

I'm surprised they didn't have Invisible Jet. Did Stealths not exist back then? Was the idea too ludicrous?

[@dacarnix]

@tomcolordo Wayy better man! Olden day games are just simply the best

[@Spontainiouz]

da first video game i ever played

[@ffmax55]

Combat était livré avec l'Atari 2600 jusqu’en 1982. Il deviendra donc pour beaucoup le premier contact avec la machine

[@rambling123456]

@AqualungGameReviews thought it was 'agualung'

[@greenteen85]

no stoppin', no nothin'

[@tomcolordo]

@crankthatsonicboy either one :)

[@dacarnix]

hahahahahah man you are legend " Im never gona have much as fun playing with youself LOL!"

[@1977JAGuar]

Interesting comments @ 3:00!! :-P

[@Highwaysonyfan87]

@WikiPeoples the game is definitely not gay

[@anthonymorris4011]

we just got an atari and cannot start the game. HELP! we can go through the different levels but cannot start it....

[@Kain5th]

+Anthony Morris you have to first select the game variant and then use the reset switch to play it.

[@HailAnts]

Geez guy, they're not 'missiles', they're bullets. And its not 'rapid firing missiles' its a machine gun! Anyway, I played this game so much that I found out that if you make the tanks buttf*ck and then turn, the tanks go crazy, spinning in circles until they reach the edge of the screen. Early software 'bug'!

[@RealGateGuardian]

The Nerd has 35 copies of this

[@1977JAGuar]

Hmmm... some interesting comments from 3:01 - 3:14 !!! LOL

[@Noodles37UK]

Don't anyone slag this off cos of its primitive nature. We'd a lot of fun with this in the 80s.

[@fabriciofabricio6117]

beleza

[@TrueCourse]

Takes special skills playing with yourself with combat... wait....that didn't sound right either XD. Hehe...thanx loads for sharing :)

[@kadinhaines3002]

don't be haten on avgn

[@CloneByDesign]

Me and my friends have had hours of fun with this game, and I mean genuine, laugh your ass off, childish fun. It's a much better than Call of Duty.

[@Tr3vor42532]

well, dont bother searching it or commenting on it!

[@Highwaysonyfan87]

@WikiPeoples how is the game gay?

[@lotusclown77]

combat is better than any game in the call of poopy series, i'd be willing to go as far to say black box golf on the nes is better than any call of poopy game..

[@eaglefalconhawk007]

Combat>Call of Duty

[@thegamesbrotherssvk5135]

Eagle Falconhawk nope

[@butthole3429]

Yep

[@shenloken2]

(Having played both.) Sorry...it really isn't.

[@tomcolordo]

combat is better than modern warfare 2!!!

[@PCpete101]

yeah, all that mindless swearing and yelling does get old after a while.
