Tank Ambush

Your tank is stranded in the desert, out of fuel, and enemy soldiers and jeeps close in from the horizon on every side. Push left or right to swivel the turret all the way round as the ridge line slides past, and up or down to raise or lower the gun: the higher it points, the farther the shell bursts, and a small mark shows where it will land. A shell that bursts on an enemy destroys it for 25 points, and a new one appears on the horizon. Each kill makes the enemies a little faster. An enemy that gets close fires a warning burst in front of your tank on its side; one that gets closer still destroys the tank. You have three tanks. Choose level 1 to 3 to set the enemies' speed.

Controls: Use controller 1 or 2. Push left or right to turn the turret, up to raise the gun (farther) and down to lower it (nearer); either button fires. On the title, up and down choose the level and a button starts.
