This shit has no right going so hard. The tanks are slow and methodical, and the way you canc urve the shots makes the otherwise limiting 8-way movement into a tactical choice, and makes for some really unpredictable kills. If you go far enough into the level select, though, you get to the plane dogfights which are a whole other game on top of it. Bullets still curve, and you still are limited to 8 directions of movement, but the constant motion makes this a much more exhilarating, if perhaps more frustrating, mode. The two clouds in the center of the stage in particular make for some of the most panicked and unpredictable encounters of the era. An obvious highlight for the 2600.
