This game was a true hit... But only the Amiga version.

This was remade for the 3DO as Return Fire, fact fans. The 8-bit original isn't very good.

There was a lot of rumours and talk about this game when it was about to be released. Some mentioning it would be a smash hit. It is NOT !!! The graphics looks pretty nice but the scrolling is a bad work and it looks like shit. The sound is very poor, sounds like an old bike and not like a tank. Gameplay for 1 player is boring as hell. A 2 player game gives a couple of hours of pleasure, nothing more.

Used to play this a lot in 2P mode but mostly on the Amiga where it was much better..
