Editor note

CX-5239. 1 player only. This mostly complete prototype is labeled 9/15/83 but was scheduled for a November release. Maneuver around a battlefield with obstacles and shoot other tanks before they shoot you. Contains a dual controller option to mimic the controls of the arcade version.

All indications are that this project was started from scratch and no data or code from the Arcade version was used.
