| 1710 | 4377 | 2001-05-06 18:12:14 | <em>Category:</em> Strategy<br> <em>Description:</em> The basic goal of this game is to annihilate enemy tanks using overpowered guns :). Basically, you buy weapons, you target the enemy by adjusting the angle of your turret and firing power, and you hope to destroy their tank before they destroy yours. The game currently has enough features to make it playable: human and AI gameplay, some destructive weapons, and shields. Currently, accessories other than shields have not been implemented. | xscorch 0.1.11 | new | |
