BATTLE CITY

Tanks · Defense · Battle City (Namco, 1985)

Defend your base from waves of tanks.

Free play does not count for the leaderboard: it keeps your best on this device only. Today's challenge is one run per person.

HOW IT PLAYS

You defend your base from endless waves of tanks. Brick breaks to gunfire (yours included), steel does not, and water stops tanks while letting bullets through.

Three tank types: basic grey, fast white from wave 2 and heavy green from wave 3, which takes three bullets. Most head straight for the base, shooting their way in.

CONTROLS

TO SCORE MORE

· You lose the same whether they kill you or the base. And the base does not respawn: when in doubt between chasing a tank and going home, go home.

· Your own bullets break the brick protecting your base. Never shoot towards your base to "clear" an enemy's path.

· The multiplier is the wave: a heavy tank on wave 6 is 1800 points. Surviving beats any aiming technique.

· Water is your best wall: tanks do not cross it. Set your defence where the water already does half the work.
