Summary

Tanks for the memories...

The Good

Playing this game with a friend could yield hours of entertainment, as it is a shoot-'em-up at its most visceral. This ranks second only to Space Invaders as the best early 2600 game, and can be enjoyed even today.

The Bad

If you didn't have two players, it was a very dull game. The sound was primitive, even by the standards of the day, and there was no music.

The Bottom Line

This is a basic action shooter, Atari 2600 style, consisting of a pair of tanks, jet planes, or biplanes trying to shoot each other.
