| ThinkTanks is a tank combat game designed to be a blast for the new and |
| experienced gamer alike with lighthearted, fast paced pandemonium. Either |
| battling against brain-hungry bots in solo play or going head-to-head against |
| others online, ThinkTanks has something for everyone. |
| |
| You find yourself in a ThinkTank... just one of many brain slaves imprisoned by |
| Alien Mind Control-- only you have managed to escape their brain rays. But the |
| moment you are free, you are besieged on all sides by insane bot-tanks. You must |
| destroy or be destroyed and keep on your toes at all times. Luckily you can |
| collect powerups that give you wacky weapons to help you stay alive. As you |
| progress through each level, the bot tanks get smarter, stronger and crazier as |
| Alien Mind Control reprograms the bot tanks to match your wits. Your goal is to |
| beat the bosses, then rescue your brain-brethren and continue the fight on other |
| worlds. |
| |
| Upon entering, you are immediately engaged by heavy artillery. This is |
| no-holds-barred warfare and to the victor go the points. You can be catapulted or |
| thrust in any direction by rolling over the boost and jump pads to escape attack |
| or rush the enemy. The lush, green hills are scattered with bots on the warpath, |
| bots choking in their own smoke, floating orbs with special powers and |
| ammunition, boulders, trees, AND the dreaded pit of doom. The goal here is to |
| keep your brain intact, and triumph over bots of every shape, size, speed and |
| skill. |
| |
| You are cast into a veritable feeding frenzy of tanks. You need to simultaneously |
| track the position of your tank relative to the scrum ball using your radarscope, |
| while navigating your tank along the bumpy terrain. If you are quick enough to |
| pick up the ball yourself, you must make a mad dash to the goal, evading the |
| thirsty pack of mad bots heavy on your trail. You win by capturing the most scrum |
| balls in the allotted time. |
| |
| Both On-line BattleMode and Scrum games have team-play variants and online chat |
| that allow players to play together cooperatively. |
