Tanktics

Windows - 1999

It's quirky, it's fun, and it's baaaaad.

As you could expect from the same team that designed Lemmings series (DMA Design, which was bought out by Gremlin), Tanktics is a uniquely designed and fun to play strategy game. The premise: travel through four eras battling your foe with tanks and weapons made from various bits and pieces.

A crazy contraption called the Parts-O-Matic produces the weapons you need and helps you to upgrade your weapons and tanks. The primary resource in Tankticsis sheep. That's right, sheep. You must collect sheep to run your Parts-O-Matic. Treat them well and you will prosper. Just keep those precious sheep immune from the disease carrying and trouble causing black sheep.

Every level is uniquely designed and each offers it's own diverse set of challenges. The fantastic tutorial easily teaches basic strategy and the simple and intuitive controls of the game. DMA Design's cheeky humor that characterize Lemmings shines through in every way in this hilarious outing that offers sheep thrills for everyone.

If you love Lemmings, you will definitely enjoy this latest quirky offering from the same team.

I'm having trouble running the game on windows 10 :( it just says incorrect directx version and I'm trying to run it in different compatibility modes but doesn't seem to work.

Also @Romsearcher, I would love to try out your remake! I'm not sure how to get in contact though, I hope you can reach out to me somehow! My nickname here is typically my social media name as well, appreciate it!

Works like a dream on my Windows 7 box. You may need to enable 640 x 480 resolution compatibility option. Also be aware that certain types of pointing devices (in my case a trackball mouse) don't quite work correctly with the ingame crane-cursor.

ALSO be aware that once you start a level it's either do-or-die. If you're used to save/reloading your way to victory as in Command and Conquer...you're gonna have a bad time.

If either of these games work I will be so pleased. I remember playing the demo when I was probably ~ 15 years old. I have never found the full game again.
