Tank Wars 3.D

DOS - 1992

One of the best multiplayer freeware titles ever made, Tank Wars is a fun artillery game for 1 to 10 players. The goal will be familiar to anyone who has played Scorched Earth or Gorilla: opponents attempt to destroy each others tanks by firing various weapons at them. Pick a weapon, then choose an angle for its trajectory. Terrain, gravity, and the opposing tanks' weapons and relative positions to you are some of the factors you need to consider.

In addition to the fun and familiar gameplay, Tank Wars adds a lot of bells and whistles to make the replayability much higher. In addition to numerous weapons, there are also 7 levels of computer AI for you to compete against. Beginners can select the easy ones, making their way up to fight tougher opponents.

With up to 10 tanks in the playing field, the game is typically fast, hectic, and addictive. The graphics are standard VGA with no frills, but it's more than enough for the purpose of just blowing things up ;)

When I was little, a friend of my parents gave me a single 1.44" floppy with this game, Master Mind (1990) and Tunneler (1991). Those three games together provided my family with over a year of delighted gameplay and they fit on less than 1MB. Unbelievable to think of today.

This game is one of the greats. Great memories of family gatherings with 10 of us all huddled around the computer waiting for your turn, hoping you didnt get killed before you had a chance to take your shot. There is no greater feeling than dropping a nuke on 4 of your friends, or using some explosive dirt to cause some chaos.
