I am your tank commander and I'm here to tell you - WAR IS HELL!

The controls are awkward and the whole thing's constrained to one screen.

While you'll all start off with the same vehicle, get a handle on the controls and you will achieve total ground superiority.

Whip around the battlefield collecting power-ups that augment your vehicle's firepower, maneuverability, rate of fire and speed. Be careful with that last one; you might find yourself getting into trouble faster than you can get out.

To enter the battlefield just run this baby in your web browser (don't forget to configure each player's control inputs), in the Mega Drive/Genesis emulator of your choice, or on real hardware for the truly committed.

Controls:

Left and right to turn

Up increases the tank's speed

Down decreases its speed (or stops)

Hold A to aim

Press B to fire

While you should be able to have up to 4 local human combatants in the web version (8 on an emulator or real hardware!), there's no NPCs/AI units in this theater of war... yet. No audio at this stage either. Basically there's only one meat sack working on this, so features will be added slowly. =p

Good luck. AND GIVE 'EM HELL!
