Laser Tank

TI99/4A

 
Published in Home Computing Weekly #32

Laser Tank provides a futuristic simulation of warfare as it would be seen from the turret of a CIREV - coherent infra-red equipped vehicle.

You have three such vehicles with which to destroy another three controlled by the computer.

Each is located by adjusting the attitude and position of your tank with respect to readings from radar and video screens, and a bearing marker.

Once on video, the tank is manoeuvred until your adversary is within range. Hopefully, when you open fire, the enemy will be destroyed, but pause to think about it and he may well attack first.

There are three levels of difficulty. The score given at the end of the game is based upon the skill level played, the number of tanks left in your command and the time taken to destroy the enemy.

Movements are controlled by either keyboard or joystick, the former being the more formidable as it allows left and right tracks to be steered separately.
