excerpt from the flyer:
Front-line profit action. One of the most successful video games in the industry is now available in an 8-player, color version. TANK 8 is designed for high volume action and repeat play
— and heavy earnings.

New ammunition. Whether your customers are veteran Tank commanders or rookies, TANK 8 offers a whole new challenge and more exclusive Atari features. The battlefield is filled with barriers and mines. "Blown up" tanks also add to the obstacles. All-new joystick controls are easier to use — like the real thing. Tanks are faster, more mobile. TANK8 is designed for individual or team play. Electronics are new, more advanced. Realistic sound effects — roaring tanks, explosions, gunfire and "taps" near the end of the battle add to the attraction and excitement. Four hinged coin doors, locking
cashboxes and lightweight easy-to-assemble construction round out TANK 8’s exclusive features. Dollar Bill Acceptor, exclusive option. TANK 8 can be ordered with a Rowe dollar bill acceptor. Instead of 8 plays at 25¢ each, you can add an extra savings incentive —8 plays for only $1. No battle fatigue. TANK 8 is built for heavy action. Durastress™ -tested solid state reliability
means less down-time, non-stop earnings. Allsteel frame construction, and molded fiberglass control panel means tank-tough indestructibility and large removable side panel mean easy accessibility to components. Exclusive Atari "Instapart"™ service backup supplys you with spares in less than 48 hours.
Dimensions: Height: 68", 171cm; width: 44",
111cm; depth: 44", 111cm.
Mobilize your attack force.
TANK 8 is going to sell out fast.

Description

Battle arena filled with barriers and "X"s that represent land mines is viewed from a overhead perspective by eight players who individually maneuver their uniquely colored tank in an effort to shoot the other.
Tank 8 had two modes free-for-all and team-play. In free-for-all mode you get points for every kill. In team mode, tanks were red or blue and points were scored only for killing members of the opposite team. In a design that was ahead of its time, you did have to watch out to make sure you didn frag members of your own team.

Tank 8 was produced by Kee Games in 1976.
