Tank in a Dungeon (C64)

There was an earthquake in the Kilimanjaro Mountains in Africa. As a result, a huge cave was exposed. Researchers were sent there to check what was inside. Only one man returned, who told terrible things about huge dungeons full of dangerous robots. Some of the researchers could still be there. It was decided to send a tank there to explore the dungeons and destroy the aliens. You will command this tank - good luck!

Info:

There are 15 levels ahead of you. Every second one is randomly generated. Save your ammo. You can replenish it by collecting ammo in dungeons. You can also collect additional armor that will protect your tank from one hit. Watch out for the bombs lying around. You will get bonus points for collecting the missing researchers.

Game Controls:

• Joystick in port 2 - Move a tank and fire
• Press SPACE to restart the game

Known bugs/problems:

In NTSC music is faster but the game is playable
