Armor Attack

The player controls a jeep and must destroy the many tanks and helicopters that attack him in a labyrinthine cityscape. The jeep is armed with a rocket launcher that fires directly forward; the player can have two rockets on the screen at the same time. The controls are generally similar to the well-known Combat for the Atari 2600. Tanks appear at regular intervals at various points on the edge of the screen and drive towards the player. The tanks always move along horizontal or vertical lines, unlike the freely moving jeep. The tank turrets move in such a way that they can follow the player and shoot in any direction. Tanks usually take two hits to be killed, and the player can only have two missiles on the screen at a time. The helicopter appears from a random point and loops towards the player, flying over the jeep and firing periodically. When hit, the helicopter spirals inwards.
