Super Tank is a classic main game shooter, originally released in 1986 for the SG-1000. Up to two players control mobile tanks, beginning with clearing mines and destroying red enemy tanks while collecting temporary super armor from glowing diamonds. The core objective is to defeat the highly maneuverable SUPER TANK by hitting the precise weak spot on its nozzle, leading to more complex subsequent rounds.
This is a classic shooter experience, originally released in 1986 for the SG-1000 platform. Players take control of highly mobile armored tanks in a mission focused on intense armored combat and objective clearing, supporting up to two players simultaneously.
The primary gameplay loop involves cooperative or solo action where up to two players simultaneously pilot their tanks. The initial challenge requires players to navigate an environment filled with mines, clearing the field while simultaneously engaging and destroying numerous red enemy tanks.
A key element introduced during these preliminary rounds is the presence of special glowing diamonds. Collecting these provides temporary super armor protection, offering a brief but crucial advantage against enemy fire while players work to secure the area.
Once the introductory collection and mine-clearing phase is complete, players face the game's namesake and most dangerous opponent: the SUPER TANK. This vehicle is characterized by its high maneuverability, presenting a significant tactical challenge.
Success against this formidable foe hinges on precision targeting. The single known weakness of the SUPER TANK is located at the very tip of its nozzle. A direct hit to this specific point is required to achieve victory and advance.
Destroying the primary adversary does not conclude the experience. Instead, players move on to subsequent, more intricate collection rounds. These later stages escalate the difficulty but also offer greater rewards upon successful completion.
This title functions as a main game release within the Shooter genre. There are currently no recorded downloadable content packs, expansions, or official remakes/remasters associated with this version of the game.
Interestingly, the game has roots tracing back to an earlier 1981 release manufactured by a German company, which was subsequently licensed for distribution in different international markets, including SNK for Japan and Computran for the US.
