Should the Telestar Combat! be described in Telestar Combat! instead of here? Doesn't everyone assume that 'video game' + 'combat' equals Atari 2600 Combat?
[edit] Combat Authors
Just to correct Bumm13's claim, according to this interview with Joe (as well as my talks with him), Combat originated with Steve Mayer as a port of Atari's Tank game for a proof of concept. Joe debugged it and rewrote the core of the tank demo in the process. Larry Wagner then came in as project manager/lead programmer for the Combat project (team of 4) that included Kaplan. In fact, Wagner signed the 20th anniversary certificate for Stella (the 2600 code name) as "Larry Wagner - original head of 1st group of programmers who completed Combat and wrote the number-crunching part of Video Chess." --Marty Goldberg 04:36, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Wii Play
This game was re-made in Wii Play. Can this be put into both this article and Wii Play? -dogman15 05:40, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

- The Wii's is a game called Tank (which is actually the name of the original Atari arcade game). Unless there's a direct claimed correlation, I'm not sure it really belongs here. --Marty Goldberg 06:23, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
