Description: Virtually every other system of this era had some sort of tank battling game and while Mattel did their best to enhance the concept for their "advanced" system, it still boils down to two tanks shooting at each other. There are two versions of this game, one has “faster tanks” that rotate quicker.
Easter eggs: a) Drive a tank to the bottom of the screen, and then inactivate it. Next take another tank (yours or the bad guys) and shoot it once or twice to make it move lower. Now re-activate the tank, turning it so it points straight down, and drive forward for a minute or two. The tank will appear from the top of the screen and will gain some "ghost tank" powers. b) You can get the initials “D.E.I.” to appear on the title screen with this one: on the left controller, press and hold “0”, either upper side-button, and disc position 7 (which is just above left). Then press RESET.
