The controls of Super Battletank are a little hard to use. This important detail enables you to avoid enemy shots, because you can see which way an enemy's gun is pointed without reverting to the long-range radar map. The screen's instrument panel has been slightly upgraded from the SNES version and includes a more detailed short-range radar map that displays your tank and the enemy's tanks from an overhead view. The graphics in the battle screen aren't as sharp as they were in the SNES version, but they're still pretty decent. You can toggle between two views, a behind-the-dashboard battle screen and a long-range radar map. Super, Super Off-Roadĭon't let anyone tell you that "they don't build tanks like they used to", because this baby's built Abrams tough! You're equipped with 7.62 mm Machine Guns, 120mm Cannons, Laser-guided Shells, a Smoke Screen, and a Night Vision Scope. Each time you fire a shell, the smoke clears for an instant, and you can aim your next shot. ProTip: To launch a surprise attack, get within firing range, immediately use your smoke screen, and fire your 120 mm cannon. Your mission objectives are scattered throughout the Middle East, and you're pitted against an army of enemies and obstacles, which include Soviet- made T-62 tanks and MI-24 HIND helicopters, mine fields, SCUD launchers, and heavily fortified enemy strongholds. Instead you get true-to-life graphics and authentic game play.īased on actual military operations from Desert Storm, Super Battletank features 10 missions. Since it's meant to be a realistic simulation of desert warfare, there are no catchy soundtracks. Super Battletank: War in the Gulf by Absolute is a well-crafted, one-player tank cart. It's one goal: to blow you out of existence! Desert Stormin' Out in the emptiness, you know a massive military force waits. Sweat trickles down the sides of your face and your throat begins to tighten.

Your only links to the outside world are three small windows, which offer a bleak view of a vast, desert landscape that stretches endlessly into the horizon.
