Tank Command is a vertically-scrolling action game that was only released in North America.
+ Your projectile's wide blast radius gives some leeway and running over on-foot enemies to conserve ammo is gratifying.
- Gameplay lacks urgency and compared to similar titles like Jackal (1988, NES) this has reduced scope and limited variety.
- Enemy A.I. needed extra refinement as they often crash into each other, or avoid combat entirely by exiting stage-right!
- Shot distance metre only moves upwards, which isn't ideal when the immediate situation calls for the opposite end of the bar.
- Once you've seen the first ten seconds, there's literally nothing else to experience as it doesn't expand on its initial ideas.
- Graphics are poor with barren wastelands to navigate, and the lack of music during gameplay creates disinterest.
