Tank Wars

TANK WARS™ 2.0.0 by Richard C. Ballantyne 9/23/96 Tank Wars is shareware - the fee is $5. Once the fee is paid, any program or upgrade I produce will be yours for FREE (you won't have to feel guilty about paying the shareware fee), plus I will send you a registration code that will make your tanks more powerful than you can possibly imagine. Tank Wars is a battle simulation game between two tanks. The tank battles take place in an arena where other competitive tank drivers compete with each other. Whenever you win a battle with the computer player, you will be given a certain amount of money that can be used to buy power up items for your tank. The object of the game is to gradually gain money to buy items to upgrade your tank. When your tank is sufficiently powerful, you may attempt to defeat the final boss tank (Select “Final Boss” from the Difficulty Menu). BEWARE: The Final Boss is SMART and TOUGH! But if he is defeated you will find that the reward was well worth the trouble. When you first begin... You will be given $1000 to spend any way you want. Your beginning weapons level will be 1/2, your armor level 2, your shot speed level 2, your movement speed level 1, your ram plate level 1. The computer's levels will be as follows: Weapons level 1, armor level 4, shot speed level 2, movement speed level 1, ram plate level 1, and skill level 7. This is what the statistics will be set at when you open a new save file. Player 1: Player 2: The Computer Player: Movement using the Mouse: To move around, simply point the mouse in the direction in which you wish to go, and the tank will follow the mouse. Movement using the Keyboard: Player 1: To move use the ‘E’, ‘D’, ‘F’, ‘S’ keys to move north, south, east, and west respectively. Player 2: Use the arrow keys (N = UP ARROW, S = DOWN ARROW, E = RIGHT ARROW, W = LEFT ARROW) to move. Firing using the mouse: Press down the mouse button in the direction in which you wish the shot to go. Firing using the Keyboard: You may fire up to 10 shots simultaneously before the “shot buffer” starts to run out. When you fire more than 10 shots, the 1st shot that you fired will disappear and will be replaced by the 11th shot. The directions in which you may fire are NOT dependent upon the directions in which you happen to moving (i.e.: a nice new feature the last version of Tank Wars did not have) Player 1: To Fire use the ‘I’, ‘K’, ‘L’, ‘J’ keys to fire north, south, east, or west respectively. Player 2: To Fire use the ‘8’, ‘2’, ‘6’, ‘4’ keys on the number pad to fire north, south, east, or west respectively. To fire your current weapon, simply aim your tank in the direction in which you wish to fire, and press down the mouse button (or for Player 2, spacebar, 'F', or '5'). Note: Whenever you fire when your previous shot is still on the screen, your last shot will disappear and a new one will be created. Damage is determined by the weapons level.
