Tank Force

Tank Force is a multi-directional shooter and follow up to Battle City. It appeared only in the arcades and met little recognition worldwide.

Tank Force adds new features like new enemies, powerups and boss rounds. Tank Force is considered hardest game in the series due to level design, enemy placement and faster pace. Unlike its prequels, this game can be beaten and has an ending after clearing all 36 rounds.

Gameplay summary

 * You start out at the bottom of the screen next to your base. Enemy tanks will appear from several positions on the edge of the screen.
 * You can fire in four directions. When projectiles fired by player and the enemy collide, they can cancel each other out.
 * If one enemy hits you, you lose one life. If your base is ever hit by a projectile, the game is automatically over.
 * Bullets can destroy most walls, whether they are fired by you or the enemy. It takes two shots to destroy a small tile.
 * Enemies can provide with power-ups when destroyed. The power up will appear randomly somewhere on the screen.
 * 2-player mode is semi-cooperative. Both players can either race for points or work together to complete the game.
