Description
Desert Fox: Clearly inspired by Atari/Kee Games Tank arcade game. You control one of two tanks engaged in a battle. The goal is to earn as many points as possible by shooting your opponent. On the game screen there are two barriers (located in the upper left and bottom right corners) and five mines (located in the middle of the screen). The tanks can not shoot through the barriers or mines making them ideal for cover. The tanks can drive through the barriers, but attempting to drive through a mine will cause your tank to explode awarding your opponent a point.
Shooting Gallery: Exactly the same game as released on "Videocart-1".

One of the games (Shooting Gallery) was already released on Videocart 1. Now how lazy is that?!

In Desert Fox, you have to chase your enemy across the screen, avoiding mines. Shooting Gallery had already been part of Video-Cart 1
