    Tank Battalion © 1980 Namco, Limited.

    Tank Battalion is a multi-directional shooter arcade video game.

    The player, controlling a tank, must destroy 20 enemy tanks in each level, which enter the playfield from the top of the screen. The enemy tanks attempt to destroy the player's base (represented on the map as an eagle), as well as the player's tank. A level is completed when the player destroys all 20 enemy tanks, but the game ends if the player's base is destroyed (independent on the number of lives) or the player loses all his lives.
