Armor Attack

About

Drive your jeep through a chaotic city under attack in Armor Attack, a fast-paced shooter that blends reflexes and strategy. You'll blast advancing tanks and evasive helicopters with a rocket launcher, but only two projectiles can be onscreen at once. Tanks grind toward you in predictable lines, their turrets tracking your every move. Helicopters loop overhead with erratic paths, raining fire before spinning into a death spiral if hit. The maze-like layout forces careful positioning as threats emerge from all sides. The game's simplicity belies its depth. Managing your limited ammo creates tension every time you fire. Tanks need two rockets to down, but a single hit can take out a helicopter. The co-op mode scales the chaos, letting a friend cover your flank. Released in 1980, it plays like a sharper relative to Combat's tank duels but with more dynamic action. Players stuck in the 80s arcade scene might recognize its crisp vector graphics and tight controls.
