Item Description

Most console tank games hand you a turret and a fire button. M-1 Abrams Battle Tank hands you a crew. Based on Abrams Battle Tank, the 1988 computer simulation from Dynamix designed by Damon Slye, this 1991 Genesis cartridge puts you in command of NATO's front-line tank across eight missions against Warsaw Pact forces, and it asks you to think like an armored commander rather than an arcade gunner.

The heart of it is the four crew stations, driver, gunner, loader and commander, and you can take any of them. The turret and the tracks turn independently, so you can be driving one way while sighting a target in another, and the main gun carries several ammunition types alongside a coaxial machine gun, which makes picking the right round for the right threat part of every engagement. Missions can be played as a full campaign or chosen individually. They are tightly scripted, with a fixed sequence of objectives, so success comes from learning each battlefield and taking on enemies in the right order.

The Genesis conversion came from Realtime Games Software, the British studio behind Carrier Command, and it runs on that game's 3D engine, adapted for the console and for armored warfare. That gives the cartridge an unusual place in the library: a Cold War vehicle simulator straight out of the late-'80s PC tradition, translated for a gamepad. It is slow, methodical and absorbing in a way little else on the system is, and a fascinating look at how far developers were willing to push the Genesis toward serious simulation.

About the game

Take the most powerful NATO tank, the M-1 Abrams, in 8 difficult missions against the Warsaw Pact forces. The four tank stations and the other aspects of the tank are quite nicely simulated, with different types of cannon rounds, coax machine guns, and all that. There's also the independent turret and track rotation commands.
