As two battle tanks, you and a friend try to defeat each other and score points. Every time you kill your opponent, you score one point. First one to 15 wins! =-=-=-=- Controls =-=-=-=- ___________ | | | | | 1 | 2 | 3 | __|___|___|___|__ | | | | | | |L1| 4 | 5 | 6 |R1| |__|___|___|___|__| | | | | | | |L2| 7 | 8 | 9 |R2| |__|___|___|___|__| | | | | |CLR| 0 |ENT| |___|___|___| | | |CNTRL DISC | |___________| Control Disc (CNTRL DISC): Move tank R1, 2/L1, 2: Shoot Other buttons: Not used =-=-=-= Options =-=-=-= On the main screen of TA, after choosing your game, you will be able to choose an option. Here is what each option does: Option 1: Long-Range Ricochet This is fun! Shoot a bullet at a wall, and it bounces back! The bullets also can go very far. Option 2: Short-Range Ricochet Same as option 1, except your bullets don't fire as far. Option 3: Long-Range No Ricochet The bullets can shoot far, but they can't bounce off walls. Option 4: Short-Range No Ricochet Same as option 3, except the bullets fire a shorter distance. =-=- Tips =-=- - If you're playing with ricochet, be careful. If you shoot a bullet at a wall, make sure you leave the area before it bounces back and kills you, rewarding your opponent with a point! - Walls are the only thing that you can use to protect yourself from your opponent's fire, so make sure you use them in your protection. However, although defense is important, make sure to work on offense too. Look for opportunities to corner the enemy tank in an area where they can't attack you! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- R A C I N G C A R S ----------------------------------------------------------------------- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= General Description/Rules =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= You and somebody else are racing on a highway to see who can reach 100 game miles first.
