Rebound (video game)
Development of "Rebound" began in late 1973, as one of several variations they produced in 1974 on the gameplay of the successful "Pong" (1972), Atari's first game and the fourth-ever arcade game. Around the same time, Atari launched Kee Games, a subsidiary meant to produce clone games of Atari's products and act as a competitor in order to expand into more distribution channels in the same region than the industry typically supported. Kee's first game, released in March 1974, was "Spike", a clone of "Rebound", which added a "spike" button to the game that made the paddle jump up and attempt to bounce the ball downwards instead of up. In addition to the base game, Atari sold a conversion kit to convert any Atari two-player "Pong" variant into "Rebound", and in 1977 "Rebound" was included in "Video Olympics" for the Atari 2600, a collection of "Pong" variants.
Combat (Atari 2600)
Combat is a video game by Atari, Inc. for the Atari VCS (later called the Atari 2600). It was released as one of the nine launch titles for the system in September 1977, and was included in the box with the system from its introduction until 1982. "Combat" was based on two earlier black-and-white coin-operated arcade games produced by Atari: "Tank" (published under the Kee Games name) in 1974 and "Jet Fighter" in 1975.
