Tank Games
Individuals looking to play military-inspired action games while browsing the Internet may consider various types of battle tank games. Featuring different war scenarios, these video games put the player in charge of large military tanks while facing other opponents equipped with similar tanks. Opposing players' military headquarters must be destroyed to win. Tank is a two-player arcade game by Atari Inc. subsidiary Kee Games, originally released on November 5, 1974 and designed by Steve Bristow and Lyle Rains. The game is famous for causing such demand that Atari made its "secret" ownership of Kee Games public, merging the company back in to Atari and releasing Tank under the Atari label as well. Tank uses a black and white Motorola television for its display. The control panel consists of four military-style joysticks, two per player, with a fire button mounted on top of the right joystick of each pair. Inserting coins immediately starts the game, placing the players in the upper right and lower left corners of the maze respectively. The first 50 or so cabinets produced have a protruding wooden coin box area between the two speaker grills. Tank was the first game to use IC-based ROM to store graphical data. Although Gran Trak 10, released in July 1974, was the first arcade game to use ROM data, Gran-Trak's ROM used an earlier diode-based ROM technology.
