Here are some cheats and tips for the game Combat.
Super shot:
Hold Reset + Fire to shoot to the other side of the screen.
Teleporting shot:
Place your tank just to the right of the top left corner and fire
into that corner. The shot will leave the screen and re-appear from
the top right corner.
Turbo tank:
Plug in paddle controllers and press both buttons to speed up your
tank.
Spinning tanks:
Place both tanks in a position where one tank’s turret is flat
against the other tank. Turn the first tank so that its turret
runs into the stationary tank. Both tanks will begin to spin in
circles.
Flying tanks:
Select game 9 and begin game play. Rotate the tank on the left 180
degrees and fire. If done correctly, the shot will bounce around
the screen and hit the right tank. Both tanks should fly
approximately three screens to the left before stopping.
Switch tanks:
Select game 9 and begin game play. Rotate the tank on the right 180
degrees and fire. If done correctly, both tanks will switch
positions.
