''Tank'' was a 1974 release by [[Kee Games]] released under Atari Inc as its fully owned subsidiary. The games consists of two dueling tanks, firing projectiles out of their fronts to attempt to hit and stun their opponents for score. Using two joysticks, the player can rotate their tanks, move forwards or backwards depending on the orientation of the controls. In the middle of the playfield, a set of mines displayed on the screen via small cellophane blocks can also cause the opposing tank to spin out. Walls littered the battlefield and the shots can be bounced off of the terrain.
