Remember those wondrous days of yesteryear where nothing excited us more than a couple of colored blocks on screen, and a little bleep and bloop? There was a console, arguably the first successful one for the home called the Atari VCS more commonly known as the Atari 2600? You do? Well do you remember one of the big launch titles for the 2600? Yep Combat, and a variation within combat? Common now, don’t tell me you’ve forgotten good ol’ Tank? Okay admittedly I thought I remembered the game being only Tank, which is based on the arcade version of Tank by Kee and Atari games. However Tank and it’s variations were added into the Combat cartridge with various other battle type games. Anyways, it was always fun playing Tank and it’s various variations, and nailing the other guy. Especially Tank Pong, where you could bounce shots off the walls. Nothing like reliving the good ol’ days. Well what this has to do with our next game is that it, also is a tank game. It’s called Last Man Standing, by IronCode Software. Let’s figure out if it’s something worth buying or not.
