"Stalk your opponent's tank through the minefields and barriers of the Sharp MZ-80K battlefield. In Tank Battle, two tank commanders guide their war
machines around the screen waiting for an opening to fire or to force their opponent over a mine. Points are scored if you hit the opposing tank and if
your opponent sets off a mine. The winner is the first to 10 points. Barriers can be destroyed by two direct hits to force your way through to surprise
a hiding opponent. Each player controls his tank from a 3x3 section of keys at either end of the keyboard. The eight outside keys give direction and the
centre key fires a shot in the direction of the last move. Tank conflicts have proved a successful convert to the computer screen - and this game by Alistair
Hutcheon incorporates most of the features of that success."
