"In conclusion, Toy Tanks is an OK arena action game. What kills most of the fun in this game are the strange controls, with nothing that’s really practical. Thus, Toy Tanks just feels a lot more clunky and complicated than a game like this has every right to be, but if you can somehow get over the crazy hurdle of this game’s control schemes, then you do have a decent, sixty-level experience to blast through, along with a goofy two player battle mode. So at the end of the day, Toy Tanks isn’t a bad game, just a very clunky one with some weird learning curves, leaving a middle of the road experience in its place."

About

You fly a propeller plane in a game where giant camels shoot fireballs at you. Your goal is to blast each camel enough times to destroy them before they reach a base on the screen. Each one takes a dozen shots minimum. If even one makes it through, you lose. After clearing a level, you dodge missiles in a frantic "hyperspace" section. Success lets you face tougher camels next. Controls are tight for a game from 1983 but demand steady hands. The retro charm comes from its pixelated menace and relentless difficulty. Originally released on Commodore and Atari 8-bit systems, it survives as a cult classic for its absurd concept and punishing design. With no multiplayer or modern conveniences, it leans fully into old-school arcade urgency. The 1983 release date means it predates many genre staples, making it a niche artifact for fans of early shoot-'em-ups.
