About the game

Dating from 1981, Commbat for Atari 8-bit is preserved in the VG90 archive as a catalogue entry — a factual marker of a release that belonged to the early cartridge-and-arcade boom.

The years around 1981 belonged to the early cartridge-and-arcade boom, when the arcade was king and the first home consoles were racing to catch up. VG90 groups titles like this one by era and platform so those connections are easy to trace.

Why it matters

The value of a record like this is context: the early cartridge-and-arcade boom produced far more games than the handful everyone remembers, and the arcade was king and the first home consoles were racing to catch up. An archive earns its keep by preserving the long tail, not just the hits.
