Combat

About

Combat is a 1982 shooter from UA Limited that lets you play as tanks or planes in two distinct sets of modes. The first 71 games focus on tank battles while the last 18 shift to aerial combat. Each mode includes variations like screen wrap-around mechanics and destructible terrain elements. Players control vehicles in fast paced shootouts often designed for head to head matches. The game stands out for its flexibility offering 88 distinct configurations through simple rule tweaks. For its time Combat was unusual for including direct multiplayer options and replayable scenarios. Though built on basic graphics by today's standards the variety kept players engaged across different tank and plane based challenges. A straightforward arcade title that prioritized quick action over complex systems.
