  It's a great arcade port for the Atari ST, both graphically and control wise.

  Nice arcade conversion. Nice use of color. But keeps the 3D vector graphics of the arcade. Very smooth graphics. Your tank usually keeps moving. In fact, you should be moving forward or backward to evade incoming shots. Certainly, best home port! Recommended!
