!! ''Combat'' (the 2001 Windows PC game)
* SoOkayItsAverage: Reviews of the game were middling at best. Its [[https://www.mobygames.com/game/8233/combat/ [=MobyGames=] entry]] ranks it at a 5.8/10 in the lowest eighth of the over-24,000 Windows PC games in its database. A PC Gamer review slammed it as a "slippery $19.99 take on VideoGame/TwistedMetal", an IGN review said it had "no nostalgic value," and the [=AllGame=] Guide gave it a 2/5. The Russian magazine Absolute Games lambasted the game with a 15/100, translated roughly as:
--> "I got the impression that the developers were literally forced to make this unfortunate modern perversion. Everything was so forced, uninteresting, clumsy and primitive. The process of learning the game is perhaps equivalent to the torment the guys from Magic Lantern experienced when creating it."

* HarsherInHindsight: Both series star Creator/VicMorrow and pilot director Boris Sagal were killed in grisly on-set accidents involving helicopters.
* HilariousInHindsight:
** Peter Mark Richman guest-starred in an episode titled "The Hostages" as the pompous VillainOfTheWeek Nazi SS Captain Aptmeyer who dies when Doc held Aptmeyer's face down into the grass until he suffocated. A couple decades later, Richman would appear ''Film/FridayThe13thPartVIIIJasonTakesManhattan'', playing the equally pompous AssholeVictim Charles [=McCullough=] who dies face first drowning in a barrel of sewage.
** After playing a German soldier twice in this show, Robert Duvall would played another in ''Film/TheEagleHasLanded''.
** Peter Haskell plays a German-American G.I. in an episode titled "A Child's Game". Haskell would later be part of particular KillerDoll horror franchise called ''Franchise/ChildsPlay''.
** Speaking of ''Child's Play'', future horror director Tom Holland in his one of his early acting roles (and credited as ''Tom Fielding'') and Michael Constantine both acted in an episode titled "Entombed" with Constantine playing a vengeful French Resistance fighter. After working with him, Holland would later cast Constantine as a vengeful centurion gypsy in the 1996 film adaptation of Creator/StephenKing's ''Literature/{{Thinner}}''.
* [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff Japanese Love Combat]]: The show was one of the most highest rated back in Japan during its initial airing, that reruns are quite common on satellite channels today for nostalgia. Similarly, the show is still quite popular nostalgically in Taiwan and Greece.
* TheScrappy: Taking EarlyInstallmentWeirdness into consideration, some viewers feel this way about Braddock, since he was essentially the FatComicRelief throughout the early part of the first season, which, to some, makes him seem out of place.

* GoodBadBugs: The Tank games could behave very strangely depending on what the tanks were doing:
** If the tanks were positioned one directly behind the other and both tried to move forward, they may end up spinning around rapidly.
