[edit] Description
The player controls a small jeep and must destroy the many tanks and helicopters that populate the war-torn cityscape that represents the game's single play area. As with many vector games of the time, all of the background graphics were created with the addition of a monitor bezel/plastic overlay; with the game itself only generating the monochrome jeeps, tanks, helicopters and the shots they fire.
[edit] Availability
The game was originally released as a coin-operated arcade cabinet. It was also licensed for conversion to the Vectrex video game console system.
[edit] Trivia
- Noah Gordon holds the official record for this game on 'Single' settings with a maximum 2,009,000 points [1]
