Its in there somewhere.

No idea if it will be the exact version as requested, there are hundreds of intreprtations of the basic game/format.

427868 2006-02-17 04:59:00 So many tank games and not one is it. Why can't my dad remember the name (lol, its been like 8yrs or so).

I believe he got it from tucows, but I can't find a classics section.

427869 2006-03-11 18:51:00 Xerostate i know EXACTLY what game your talking about. im dying ot get my grubby mits onthat game. the other thing you were thinking about was the tesla shields you have to maintain. i remember another part of it, like at the beginning screen where the two doors shut, theres a thing were you can click ans it has the guy with the sign "will program for food". i fanyone can help, please post something!! smileydude0 (9763)
427870 2006-04-26 20:41:00 Yep, those shields. You also could buy holo-jumpers where when you would 'jump' your tank to another position on the map and it would make so many holograms of your tank that look real until attacked (number of holograms depended on which you had, Holo-Jumper, Holo-Jumper2, etc).

Oh and sorry for bringing this back from the dead but I had it bookmarked and forgot about it.

427871 2007-01-26 10:07:00 Oh sweet mother of all that is gaming. Please please tell me someone has heard of that 3d tank wars game XeroState was asking about. I've been searching for years. I beg of you \o/ tekin (9764)
427872 2007-01-26 11:05:00 I know exactly what you're asking about. It's the coolest game. I've been sharing it with my family for months recently. Great to hear that there's another fan. I've given my download site to so many people recently... it's received over 1200 downloads! Greg (193)
427873 2007-01-27 19:25:00 As a 56 year old ex computer salesperson I love some of those early games. I had forgotten all about Jazzy Jack Rabit, it was good.

The snag is I think its probably very hard to get some of these games running on todays fast machines and XP.

Leisure Suit Larry was good to

427874 2007-01-27 19:52:00 Yes I use to play platform games on the Commodore 64 and Amiga. Some of these games are still availible for the Amiga and you can play them on your PC useing the Amiga Emulator.
