*'''Version 3''' — ''Tank Mania 3'' is hosted under tankmania.com. Graphics were a bit more detailed than previous versions, and darker. Further gameplay changes were made, including the addition of a smoke bomb. It is full of 'wannabe hackers', including game crashers, spambotters, aimbotters, guessbotters, etc. The high score feature was dropped, making way for the Map Editor and forums (which have since dropped).  This version is prone to protracted crashes where it is unavailable for play. The web site has been mostly non-functioning since 2/10/07. Pressing enter twice at the log on screen will work in some cases.
