Item Description
Iron Tank takes the moment every Ikari Warriors player loved most, climbing into a tank and flattening everything in sight, and stretches it into an entire game. SNK built it as a spin-off of Ikari Warriors and a successor to its 1985 arcade shooter TNK III, and it reached Japan as Great Tank. You command a single heavily armed tank spearheading the 1944 invasion of Normandy, driven by Paul, codenamed Iron Snake, a commando who also turns up in Ikari Warriors, with orders to smash through the enemy's front lines and destroy the headquarters behind them.
The turret is what makes it special. It aims in eight directions and holds its screen direction no matter which way the tank is driving, so you can roll along a road while raking a gun emplacement off to the side. The machine gun handles infantry and the main gun handles everything heavier, and a menu lets you switch between shell types as you collect them: rapid-fire rounds, armor-piercing shells that pass through walls, explosive bomb shells and long-range shots. Lettered power-ups refill those meters and your armor, and a rare question-mark item wipes the entire screen. The same menu holds radio messages and a map that tracks your progress.
The campaign plays as one continuous push. Each level ends with a boss, and the next begins the moment it falls. Those bosses are the highlights: giant tanks, railway guns sliding along their tracks, fortresses and grounded aircraft, each with a pattern to learn and exploit. The route is yours to choose, too. Paths split and rejoin at set points, some shorter and tougher, others longer and gentler, so a second run through Normandy can look very different from the first.
With its cartoonish soldiers, chunky explosions and a handling model that feels odd for five minutes and satisfying for hours, Iron Tank is a deep cut among the NES's overhead shooters. If you have worn out Ikari Warriors or Jackal and want more top-down armored mayhem from the same era, this is the one to track down.
