## What is Tank 1990?

Welcome to Tank 1990: Battle City 90s!
In the 90s, the 8-bit game machine was the most addictive thing for teenage boys. Let's play the Super Tank 1990: City 1990 mobile version and revisit our childhood. This is for everyone who loves Tank Shooter 8-bit (City in 1990) with pixel art, game boy, handheld games, mini arcade, and more.

HOW DO YOU PLAY SUPER TANK BATTLE?
- In Tank 1990 (Super Tank Stars), there are many unique power-ups that aren't found in classic tanks (Battle Arena).
- In this version, tanks can float on water if you take the boat. Opponents can choose different bonuses as well. For example, if an alien tank (Super Tank Battle City) takes a star, it will also improve, just like yours.
- The enemy can take a grenade that will destroy you, changing the gameplay dramatically.
- As the player, you control the tank and must destroy enemy tanks in each level, which enter the playfield from the top of the screen. The enemy tanks aim to destroy the player's base (represented on the map as a bird, eagle, Phoenix, or Shellshock Live), as well as the player’s tank. A level is completed when the player destroys all 20 enemy tanks, but the game ends if the player's base is destroyed or the player loses all available lives. Note that the player's tank can also destroy the base, leading to a loss even if all enemy tanks are destroyed.

WHAT WE HAVE IN TANK 1990: CITY OF TANKS?
- Many custom maps and the original ones included.
- Tank (Type X): A symbol that gives an extra life. Players also earn one extra life by reaching 20,000 points.
- Star: It improves the player's tank (having one star makes shots faster, having two stars allows two simultaneous shots (Overwatch Tanks), having three stars allows the player to destroy steel). The player's tank carries power-ups across levels unless destroyed, which resets its stats.
- Bomb: Destroys all visible enemy tanks.
- Clock: Freezes all enemy tanks for a period.
- Shovel: Adds steel walls around the Phoenix for a period. It also repairs any prior damage to the wall.
- Shield: Makes the player's tank invulnerable to attack for a period.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS:
- "What is an 8-bit game?" - 8-bit games use 8-bit microprocessing CPUs. Although we now have many types of tank battle defense war (like Battle Tank 1990, Tank Craft, myCityArmy), the "Battle City" game title remains the best 8-bit game.
- "What is the goal of Tank Shoot 2D?" - In Tank 1990 Battle City Legend, the player controls their tank with arrows, destroying enemy tanks that appear on the playing field. The enemy's goal is to destroy the player's base, hidden behind a brick wall. The player's goal is to destroy the opponents and move to the next level.
- "What is the best Tank 90?" - While Tank 1990 (Tank Combat 1990) by NOGAME isn't currently the best tank game (Dendy Tuncheeky Online), stay tuned for the next update.
- "What is Minecraft Tank?" - Tanks in Minecraft are liquid storage blocks capable of storing up to 16 buckets of any liquid, such as oil, fuel, water, or lava, tanks and ships. They also known as Tank 3D (Tank Force).
- "Is there an online mode in this version?" - Currently, we have a simple offline game mode, but in the future, we will develop an online version with awesome Super Tank Battle R 2 or 3 - Super Tank Wars!

TANK LEVELS:
- Basic Block-Tanks: Generally pose little threat, move slower than players.
- Fast Tank: More dangerous to the headquarters than a player.
- Power Tank: Avoid their line of fire.
- Armor Tank: Starts as green, gradually turns gray upon harm.
