Play T.N.K III Online

T.N.K III is a 1985 arcade game from SNK, a company known for its shooters during that era. It arrived when top-down run-and-gun games were common in arcades, offering a familiar but distinct take on the genre. You don't control a soldier; you control a small, nimble tank, which immediately sets it apart from many of its contemporaries.

You guide your tank through a series of enemy-filled screens, destroying everything in your path to advance. The main objective is straightforward: survive, clear each area, and defeat the boss waiting at the end. Key mechanics include collecting power-ups to upgrade your main weapon and a secondary missile attack, as well as navigating tight spaces while dodging a high volume of enemy fire. The pacing is relentless, and the difficulty is steep, demanding quick reflexes and careful movement. It feels tense and demanding, but also satisfying when you slip through a barrage of bullets and return fire.
