Pocket Tanks is a 1-2 player computer game
for Windows and Mac OS X, and more recently, the iPhone,created by Blitwise Productions, developer of
Super DX-Ball and
Neon Wars. Adapted from Michael Welch's earlier Amiga game
Scorched Tanks,
this newer version features modified physics, dozens of weapons
ranging from simple explosive shells to homing missiles, and the
ability to move the tank. It supports several
expansion packs. At the moment, players can have up to 275 different weapons total.
Pocket Tanks is often abbreviated as PTanks, PT, or simply as Pocket Skanks.
The point of the game is to use various weapons, which come in various
packs, to attack the other player's tank. Each hit scores a certain
amount of points, which varies based on the weapon and proximity. At
the end of 10 volleys, the player with the highest points wins.
The game features a fully destructible environment, which allows player
to put themselves on pedestals, in tunnels, or bunkers, allowing for
the probability of strategic play.
