CosmicJoke Posted March 15, 2002 Share Posted March 15, 2002 I am pretty sure that the gate fold boxes came with the very early VCS. I have a complete one by the way IMO it is the coolest version of Combat. I think the later 70s and early 80s releases of the vcs came with the standard type of boxed Combat. Incidently, I have two of these complete in box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosmicJoke Posted March 15, 2002 Share Posted March 15, 2002 I also have a sealed Combat, so, I think it was probably sold seperately as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc4 Posted March 15, 2002 Share Posted March 15, 2002 I'm almost certain it was sold seperatly, if at least later in the game. (no pun intended) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosmicJoke Posted March 15, 2002 Share Posted March 15, 2002 Oops, I forgot to add that if you want a complete boxed Combat I would trade you for another common complete boxed game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would gladly take you up on the offer, but sadly many of my 2600 commons are loose carts. The complete boxed games I own are either rare or the only copy I own.

King Atari Posted March 16, 2002 Share Posted March 16, 2002 Why would they sell separate copies when you got a copy free with the system? That always bugged me. BTW, I have a complete boxed 1978 copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc4 Posted March 16, 2002 Share Posted March 16, 2002 My suspicion was that not all systems came with a boxed combat. I think, and don't quote me on this, that later versions of the Atari cae with other boxed games? Therefore you might want a copy of Combat? That sound about right. I think my Atari came with PacMan. I can't really remember. (I like to be as vague as possible) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Monkey Posted March 16, 2002 Share Posted March 16, 2002 The Sears Telegames consoles didn't come with Combat... Atari was just making sure everyone got in on the love... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliColts Posted March 16, 2002 Share Posted March 16, 2002 I think the early sears came with Target Fun for the most part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian M Posted March 16, 2002 Author Share Posted March 16, 2002 This has probably been discussed before, but when the Atari VCS was first introduced in 1977 did the Combat game that was packed-in with the Atari console come with box and instructions or was it just included as a plain cart with a manual? I'm just wondering because it seems kind of hard to find Combat in a box, and given the number of these carts floating around I was wondering if the first Combats came in those cool early fold-out boxes...
