Get any info on Omega? That was an interesting game, you could 'program' the tanks.

I've heard of that game, but haven't played it. The only tank games I have played at length are Battle Zone and Arctic Fox for the Amiga. I really liked Arctic Fox, even if it was a bit too complex for me at the time (must have been 11 or 12). I thought the idea of controlling a missile from first-person perspective was great. It was like getting a free flight simulator! I also thought the hand animations added greatly to the realism.

Come to think of it, I remember a multiplayer tank game for the Amiga that showed the tanks in top-down perspective. You could choose three different tanks...Can't think of the name of it...Argh!! I just remember you could lay down mines and implement other strategies.

I know there are several miniature and RPGs based on super tanks. I can't think of their names right now, though. I do like stuff like that.
