As if Pac-Man were a tank
If there is one thing that is clear from recent trends, it is that retro is all the rage - and video games are no exception. Well-produced super-pixelated graphics are back on all platforms. Nova Game Lab joins the trend, and invites you to play an addictive game with a nice whiff of the classic Pac-Man.
Relive the arcade tank battles.
The game mechanic is very simple - destroy all the enemy tanks before they can destroy your tank. You can drive your own tank with a virtual joystick, which you shoot using a touch button which is at the bottom right of the screen. The levels have a similar feel to those in the classic Pac-Man, displaying maze-like scenarios where you have to work out your best strategy to win this war. The difference here, is that you have ammunition to destroy your opponents across the more than 200 levels.
Destroy and build
Tank Classic 1990 promises hundreds of hours and fun, and offers several game modes:
- One player.
- Two players on the internet or Bluetooth.
- Building.
Using this last menu, you can build your own scenarios mixing bricks, water, vegetation and other blocks. It is no doubt an interesting tool that will test your ingenuity.
Downsides to this game are that it is not very stable and cannot be installed on some Android devices. Also, it can get a bit repetitive. But if you are an arcade player, you will probably find a way to squeeze every last drop out of it.
Requirements and additional information:
- Minimum operating system requirements: Android 2.2
