Tank Battalion

Description:

Attention solider!
You are under attack by a heavily armed battalion of enemy tanks.
The odds are stacked against you, but as the last line of defense, you must not let them take your base.
Fight back wave-after- wave, dodging and shooting enemy fire, while keeping the enemy at bay.
It's up to you to outshoot, outmaneuver, and outlast in this action-packed tank game based on Namco's arcade game of the same name.
