It would appear to me that the fact that this particular Namco System 1 guide was not started by me really shows, as it did not have images!

===The Players' Tanks=== | |||

The protagonists of the game. Player 1 controls the red tank, Player 2 controls the blue tank, Player 3 controls the yellow tank, and Player 4 controls the green tank. They can fire up to two shots on the screen at a time, and cannot fire again until one of their shots hits an enemy tank or a wall. Unless a force field is surrounding the players' tanks, they can be killed by one enemy bullet. As said above, if one player's tank shoots another player's tank, it will push the other player backwards one small tile, but it will not kill them. | |||

== | ===Normal Tanks=== | ||
[[Image:TF Normal Tank.gif|left]] | |||
These tanks are the first enemies you encounter in the game. Their bullets travel at the same speed as yours (without powerups). One hit will kill them, and they are worth 400 points. | |||
{{-}} | |||
=== | ===Speed Tanks=== | ||
[[Image:TF Speed Tank.gif|left]] | |||
These tanks are like the Normal Tanks, but can move somewhat faster. Their bullets however, will still travel at the normal speed. One hit will kill them, and they are worth 600 points. | |||
{{-}} | |||
===Hard Tanks=== | |||
[[Image:TF Hard Tank.gif|left]] | |||
These tanks move slower than the Normal Tanks and have the same firepower. They start out gray and turn redder each time they are hit. Three hits will kill them, and they are worth 1000 points. However, unlike other enemies which have multiple hit points in this game, they will slowly regenerate their full amount of hit points if they are not hit for a few seconds. | |||

=== | ===Big Tanks=== | ||
[[Image:TF Big Tank.gif|left]] | |||
These are the slowest enemy tanks in the game. Five hits will kill them, and they are worth 1500 points; however, their flame-like shots can destroy walls with double firepower and it takes two hits to neutralize them, so it would be best to kill one when it is not facing you, because if it is facing you, you may not be able to neutralize its flame-shot in time. | |||
{{-}} | |||
===Jeeps=== | |||
[[Image:TF Jeep.gif|left]] | |||
These are the fastest enemies in the game. Unlike the other enemies, they do not get stuck in the walls and when they hit a boundary of any sorts, they change direction to continue moving. They attack by laying sticks of dynamite which will explode and destroy any walls or kill any players that are in their vicinity. One hit will kill them, and they are worth 800 points. | |||
{{-}} | {{-}} | ||
=== | ===Rapid Tanks=== | ||
[[Image:TF Rapid Tank.gif|left]] | |||
These tanks move fairly slowly and warn you when they are about to fire on you, which also makes them vulnerable given that they will stop moving every time they do so. However, they attack by firing four fast-moving bullets at a time which can be very hard to neutralize and can result in a rather quick death. One hit will kill them, and they are worth 1200 points. | |||
{{-}} | {{-}} | ||
=== | ===Tomahawk Tanks=== | ||
[[Image:TF Tomahawk Tank.gif|left]] | |||
Unlike the players' tanks and all the other enemies (which take up a space of 2 x 2 small tiles), these tanks take up a space of 4 x 4 small tiles. They will stop moving when firing but do not warn the players prior to their firing, unlike the Rapid Tanks. They attack by firing three missiles simultaneously. Eight hits will kill them, and they are worth 2000 points. | |||

|Although not damaging terrain, this goes through everything, damaging every enemy in its path. It also does more damage to enemies than regular shots. This is one of the most useful weapons and allows to attack enemies and especially bosses with little danger. | |Although not damaging terrain, this goes through everything, damaging every enemy in its path.
