Template:Infobox Tank Mania (abbreviated TM) was originally an experimental project created by Tomas Eriksson. Since its release on the Internet, the game has proved to be highly popular among players worldwide. Over the years, Eriksson has improved and updated the game, and is currently working on the newest fourth version.

History

Tank Mania has been updated in "versions."

• Version 1 - TM1 was hosted under tankwars.com. It had many bugs; players could teleport to the other flag instantly, respawn in the enemy base, shoot multiple times while moving, and move over buildings.

• Version 2 - Also hosted under tankwars.com, most obvious bugs were fixed and several gameplay aspects were updated (such as bomb damage changes and the addition of +20% health kits). This version saw the use of a high score feature.

• 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.
• Version 4 - Tank Mania 4 is still under development. See below for more details.
