Tank: The M1A1 Abrams Battle Tank Simulation is a 1989 video game published by Spectrum HoloByte.

Gameplay

Tank is a game in which this armor simulation that includes a training scenario at Fort Knox, and scenarios in the Fulda Gap region of Central Europe and the Middle East between Israel, Syria, and Lebanon.[1]

Publication history

Tank was intended as the initial release for the "Electronic Battlefield System".[1]

Reception

M. Evan Brooks reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World, and stated that "Sadly, Tank has no infantry; both sides are armor heavy. This could well occur in rare instances, but the absence of infantry is sorely missed in what purports to be a simulation of the contemporary battlefield."[1]

Paul Rigby for The Games Machine said that "Tank is an enjoyable simulation which benefits from a great deal of detailed research – the operation of the M1 Abrams is well portrayed, while the option of being able to control 16 tanks is exciting (and exhausting!)."[2]

Steven Anzovin for Compute! said that "If you sigh wistfully for the great tank battles that may never be, Tank is definitely your game."[3]
