Game Introduction

It is the year 2067. Huge cities have been built with the stench of progress and decay. A violent fighting game grows with unprecedented popularity. The tank duels are cold-hearted death matches that whip audiences into a frenzy of much needed enthusiasm and excitement. All contestants strive for the same goal ... To win the tournament and collect it's massive prize.

Choosing one of several distinctive "contestants," each with his/her own distinctive 'sled, you try to convince the competition (by using rockets and machine guns against them) to allow you to have the ultimate prize.

Technical

Because of the large number of polygons in the game and the processing power required, the game also requires cooling fans to blow across the game boards. Without these, the game will freeze up, or cease functioning completely. Although the dedicated game ships with two fans per boardset, the game seems to function okay with only one.
