2	''A Game of Concentration'' is an Platform/{{Atari 2600}} one player or CompetitiveMultiplayer PuzzleGame from 1978, based on ''{{Series/Concentration}}''. Players [[TurnBasedStrategy take turns]] selecting two cards from either a 4x4 or 5x6 grid, using the 2600's numeric keypad controllers. The cards turn over to reveal images of various objects. If the images match, the player [[ScoringPoints scores either one or two points]], depending on the difficulty switches, and gets an ExtraTurn. If they don't, both cards turn back over. There are also wild cards that match anything.
