    Do Combat and Indy 500 really have to be played with two people?

    Atari games are inane? You bitch that you couldn't hook it up, now that you can, you bitch about the games you're playing.



    Maybe you need simpler games to play - like maybe Ball-in-a-Cup.

    Indy 800 had 8 players in the arcade. If you're talking about Indy 500 on the VCS then it's 1-2 players. You may need to cycle through the game selections to have the timed game where you have so many seconds to hit as many laps as possible around the track. Also you may want to track down the racing paddles to play with a "wheel" feel.

    Combat is 2 players.

    Oh, har har har. You're so clever. Most Atari 2600 games are impossible to play without instructions - that is, once you finally find the right variation.

    I saw that coming, but it made me laugh anyways. Actually, I was expecting a shock site (Last Measure was what I had in mind).

    You could also "fry" the system too for added fun. Frying is turning the console on and off rapidly to get weird effects from games.

    BTW, what's with all the friggin' spammers tonight? Seriously guys: NOT FUNNY!

    If that's what this is about - you need instructions - well, AtariAge has an archive of the instructions for every Atari game ever released. Go to www.atariage.com and poke around you'll find the archive and you won't have any problems any more.

    Atari games are impossible to play without instructions? Seriously? I think the ball and cup may even be too much for the OP if thats the case. Perhaps a pen and paper to draw happy pictures would be a better idea.

    Step away from the Atari sir. Step AWAY from the Atari. . .

    Fixed. Pens are too sharp and pointy.

    I ate an orange crayon once. It did NOT taste like orange.
