I always found it interesting that despite being a Japan-only game, this seems to have been well-known just about everywhere even long before the internet. From what people make it sound, this game was bootlegged on the level of a Mario!

This game is part of a pair with another FC game called Warpman. Both are remakes of early '80s arcade games, Tank Battalion and Warp & Warp. I quite like Warpman, maybe I should add it. On the other hand, I think W&W came out better than TB did, and sometimes I prefer it over Warpman; maybe I should write about it instead.

There's also a big 16-bit sequel to TB/BC called Tank Force, with some very nice music among other things; unfortunately, there's no level editor, as it's only ever been an arcade game.

Feel free to share anything about Battle City (1985) here!
