Description

Rommel's Revenge is a variant of the arcade game Battlezone. Like the original game it is a first person game with wireframe graphics where the player controls a tank that has to shoot down other tanks without getting hit by their fire. The game takes places on a plain with mountains in the distance and various geometric solids (such as pyramids and cubes) acting as obstacles. Movement is limited to moving forward and reverse and rotating left and right. The game goes on until the player has lost all lives. A radar helps the player finding the location of the enemies.

Some additional features exist in later versions of the game. The Dragon/CoCo version has some additional enemies such as saucers and anti-tank missiles. The Amstrad version (retitled Tank Busters) makes further changes and uses the graphics engine from Dark Star. The player here has two weapons, a regular cannon and anti tank missiles as well as a shield that can absorb some hits before the tank is destroyed. There is however only one life. The anti tank missiles can be steered manually by the player and it is possible to turn on a missile eye's perspective.

Below are my 'Opinions' on the general condition of the main parts that make up the item. My opinion may not be the same as yours but compare my opinions to the pics and you should be able to determine if we are working on the same page. I state the operating systems that specific games are designed to run on. If your OS is not included then the chances are it will not work unless you have some advanced knowledge on running the older games (Compatibility mode, Virtual machines, etc). Try putting your OS name and the game title into google/youtube and you can usually find if a game will run on your system and what would be required to get it to run.  Any questions, get in touch.
