After more than 20 years of waiting, classic gaming and Atari enthusiasts
will finally be able to get their hands on Combat Two for the legendary
Atari 2600 game console, courtesy of Retrodesign. As you may already know,
a one-of-a-kind prototype of this unreleased game was discovered several
years ago, and it was rumored for quite some time that the owner of the
game would make the game available for purchase to eager fans everywhere.
Retrodesign has manufactured 250 copies of Combat Two cartridges, which
come complete with a box and manual. The design of the cartridge label
and box is identical to the early C2 artwork shown in publications such as
Atari Age Magazine. It's a very professionally done piece of work and
everything
is in complete color. The cartridge label is even laminated. Put the game on
the shelf with the rest of your 2600 games, and you'll swear that Combat Two
was an official 1981 Atari release.
Combat Two will be available for the first time at this weekend's Classic
Gaming
Expo 2001 event in Las Vegas. Atari Gaming Headquarters received an advance
copy of the game to review, and we have everything from production cartridge
pictures to screen shots.

and playing some of your long lost favorites isn't reason enough to head

Vegas this weekend, then perhaps the official public debut of Combat Two will
convince you to go. For more info on CGE2K1, head on over to
