- m-photonic 16y agoCombat, as the launch game for the 2600, was designed simultaneously with the hardware itself. It had some influence on the way the hardware design evolved; in a way, the 2600 hardware is kind of optimized for playing Combat. That might be one reason why it can fit into a 2K cartridge while a typical 2600 game uses 4K.
