Garry Kitchen's Battletank is an action video game released by Absolute Entertainment in September 1990 for the Nintendo Entertainment System.

Gameplay

The player is placed inside a tank, hence the game has a first person view.[1] The tank is equipped with a smokescreen, a missile launcher, a 150mm cannon, and a .50 caliber machine gun.[1] The object of the game is to destroy enemy tanks and helicopters in the area.[1] If the player fires the tank's guns for too long, they will overheat and will take time to cool down.[1]
