Battle City

Battle City, also known as Tank 1990 or Tank in some pirate multicart versions, is a multidirectional shooter video game for the Family Computer produced and released by Namco in 1985. The game was later also released for the Game Boy and was included in the Japanese version of Star Fox: Assault included. It is a port of the arcade game Tank Battalion with additional features (including simultaneous two-player play and a level editing feature). There was also a version for Nintendo's Vs. system arcade cabinets. The player controls a tank and in each level must destroy enemy tanks that enter the playing field from the top of the screen. The enemy tanks try to destroy the player's base (represented on the map as a bird, eagle or phoenix) and the human tank itself. A level ends when the player has destroyed all 20 enemy tanks. However, the game ends when the player's base is destroyed or the player loses all available lives.
