Death Tank
Also know as: Death Tank Orginal | Death Tank Classic | Death Tank Standalone | Death Tank Saturn | Powerslave | Exhumed
Death Tank is a 2D real time multiplayer game that was bundled as a bonus game in the Sega Saturn version of Powerslave (AKA Exhumed in Europe). It can be unlocked by collecting all 26 Team Dolls hidden throughout the Powerslave. Each player controls a single "tank" which is represented by a different colored parallelogram in a 2-6 player free for all deathmatch game. The tanks are dropped at random onto the map screen – a solid yellow terrain with a purple sky. You can move your tank slowly side to side across a simple line landscape, which contains all manner of varying dips and hills that somewhat limit your movement. Players can stretch out the arrows extending from their tanks in different directions to add distance and aim their shots. Each tank has a standard shot which reloads every 2-3 seconds. Each shot transforms into a beautifully pixelated arching parabola that showers your opponents like a rain of death from above. The longer the match goes on, the more the terrain lowers and flattens. By destroying enemy tanks, you'll earn money you can spend on additional weapons and upgrades between rounds.
