Yep. Anybody hating on Combat never played Combat the way it was meant to be played. I treated it as the game you just put to the side as a kid because we were too busy playing Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Breakout, Chopper Command, Galaga, Galaxian, Defender, Adventure, Vangard, etc. But once you've played Empire Strikes Back ten dozen times and the fun of shooting glowing pixels on the backs of AT-ATs wears off... Combat was still there and took almost zero explanation for how to play.


I really loved playing Vangard when I was younger. The multi-level types and fast-paced action really drew me in.
