Item Description

BattleTanx is one of those N64 games that anyone who played it remembers with real affection. Developed and published by The 3DO Company and released in North America in December 1998, it dropped players into a post-apocalyptic America where tank combat was the only currency that mattered. The premise was gloriously over-the-top: a virus has killed 99 percent of the world's women, nuclear war has followed, and the surviving women, the Queenlords, are held by gangs. Griffin Spade loses his fiancée, Madison, when the government takes her from Queens, New York, and after the city is destroyed he takes a tank across the country to find her, fighting gangs and recruiting allies along the way. It's the kind of unhinged, go-for-broke concept that defined a certain era of game design, and the game backs it up with pure, explosive fun.

The gameplay was accessible enough to pick up immediately but deep enough to keep players coming back. The campaign's 17 levels run through real American cities, from New York and Chicago to Las Vegas and San Francisco, with three tank types, the Moto Tank, the M1A1 Abrams and the heavy Goliath, and destructible environments to blast apart along with the enemy armor. The single-player campaign had real momentum and personality, but BattleTanx shone in multiplayer: up to four players could tear into each other in split-screen modes such as Battlelord, where players capture each other's Queenlords, a straight Deathmatch, and Annihilation, where each player gets five tanks and the last one standing wins.

Those sessions had a way of turning a quiet evening into something loud and unforgettable, and it was exactly the kind of game the N64's four controller ports were made for. This is the Limited Run Games reissue, a newly produced Nintendo 64 cartridge of the original game that Limited Run opened for preorder in November 2024 alongside its sequel, Global Assault. Limited Run has built its reputation on keeping games available in physical form, and BattleTanx suits that mission well: it still plays best on a cartridge, on the console it was made for, with friends crowded around one screen.

About the game

In the year 2001, a virus has killed 99.99% of the females on Earth. Various countries fight over each other's quarantine zones, and end up engaging in nuclear war, destroying much of civilization. The few remaining females are held by gangs who have taken over small pieces of the world. The main character, Griffin Spade, had his fiancee Madison taken away from Queens, New York by the U.S. Government. Griffin ends up separated from his fiancee, and New York City is destroyed. He claims a tank for his own and sets out to cross America and find her, battling gangs as he reaches his goal. After surviving the ruins of New York City, Griffin heads westward gaining recruits in the countryside, Chicago, Las Vegas, and San Francisco.
