Super Battletank

Garry Kitchen's Super Battletank: War in the Gulf is a 1992 tank simulation single-player video game which takes place during Operation Desert Storm. The player controls an M1 Abrams main battle tank for the United Nations. A sequel, Super Battletank 2, was released for the Super NES in 1994.

Graphics

The screen is divided into two sections. One is the instrument panel in the gunner's station of the tank, and the other is a view of the outside, which consists primarily of the desert and military vehicles.

Gameplay

The player battles helicopter gunships, T-72s, and Scud launchers, in pursuit of a military victory. The player had to use only M1 Abrams tank to play.

Re-releases

Majesco Entertainment released the game in 2001 for the Game Gear, as part of their licensed line of classic games for Game Gear, Mega Drive/Genesis, and Super NES, making it by far the last release in North America for the Game Gear. It was also remade as Operation: Armored Liberty for Game Boy Advance in 2003.

Reception

Super Gamer reviewed the SNES version and gave an overall score of 54%. They praised the graphics, but called the gameplay as "repetitive".

Nintendo Power reviewed the SNES version and gave middling score, citing its lack of strategy.
