Donut Games’ Micro Battles – Two Players, One Screen, Fun Happens

For its latest release, Donut Games has gone back more than thirty years in time for inspiration.

Gamers in their thirties and forties will remember Combat, a cartridge that came packaged in the box with the Atari 2600 console. Combat was an absolute treasure trove containing tonnes of minigames that pitted two players against one another in competition. Donut Games' Micro Battles seems to be a direct attempt to tap into that rich vein of fun that can only be had by two people gaming together in the same room, on the same screen.
