Gladiator |
Gladitor is the VideoBrain equivilent of Combat, but is a bit more advanced. Two players must square off in a shootout in an attempt to score the most points. One thing that makes Gladiator standout is that it boasts 384 different game variations (take THAT Atari!), each one with a different set of characteristics.
Gladiator has three basic game types, each with various options that can be configured:

Two space ships face off in outer space shooting lasers at each other. A space mine also floats around making things difficult |
Although Gladiator has a part number of EN01, it was not the first entertainment cartridge produced (that honor goes to Pinball). Approximately 2,531 cartridges were manufactured from 4-7-78 to 2-12-79, making Gladiator an uncommon cartridge.
