Tank Wars Game

Ah, Tank Wars—the classic MS-DOS gem that turned simple pixelated tanks into an all-out battlefield of strategy and chaos! Picture this: you and a buddy (or the AI) lobbing colorful projectiles across a destructible landscape, dodging ricochets, and praying your next shot doesn’t backfire. With its split-screen mayhem and customizable weapons—from bouncing bombs to guided missiles—this game was the ultimate test of aim, angles, and a little bit of luck.
What made Tank Wars stand out wasn’t just its addictive turn-based combat but the sheer unpredictability of every match. One wrong move, and you’d blow yourself up instead of your opponent—cue the laughter (or rage). It’s a nostalgic trip back to the days of straightforward, no-frills fun, where the biggest drama was whether your tank would survive the next volley. If you miss the golden era of couch multiplayer or just love a good old-fashioned artillery duel, this one’s a blast from the past worth revisiting.
Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
