In Net Yaroze Month, we are playing every Net Yaroze game featured on the UK Official Playstation Magazine, and ranking them all in the order we liked them. You may have other opinions as to the ranking, which is awesome.
To learn more about Net Yaroze, read our introductory article here.
Tanx is basically a modern update of Combat on the Atari 2600. If you liked playing that, then you’ll get a kick out of this. Like Combat, Tanx is two player only, so you’ll need a willing friend.
Combat was fun with a friend on the VCS, and this has some of the same charm, but how long do you sit there playing Combat these days?
The game offers several play modes: Duel, Capture the Flag, and Search and Retrieve; plus three different maps. Sadly the game feels slow and sluggish which sucks some of the fun from it.
