M-1 Abrams Battle Tank

In early tank games the object was simply to kill or be killed. Today gamers demand more realistic and powerful games. Sega’s answer is the popular M-l Abrams Battle Tank, now available for your Sega Genesis system.

You assume the unique specialties and responsibilities of the four M1A1 tank crew members: driver, loader, commander, and gunner. Most of the action, with a few exceptions, takes place in the gunner's position. The gunner can take the controls, and has complete control of the weapons. He determines which of the three armaments to fire: the swift, accurate SABOT; the long- range anti-helicopter, anti-armor AX; or the armor- melting HEAT warhead.

The tank's hull can rotate a full 360 degrees. At the same time, the gun turret can rotate independently in any direction. With this capability, you can destroy enemy troops without changing the tank's course. Joining you on the battle ground are allied forces. Be careful: if, in the heat of battle, you accidentally destroy any of your troops or equipment, you will be relieved of command.

M-1 Abrams Battle Tank has eight challenging missions, three difficulty levels, and eight night or day settings. Choose conventional or high-powered optical or thermal equipment. If you're tired of one-dimensional military battle games, and you thirst for a serious war simulation that flawlessly emulates real tank equipment, then M-l Abrams Battle Tank is the only game for you.

• TIP: To eliminate friendly fire casualties, start a game and then quit. At the summary screen, write down the identifications of the enemy forces.

The unthinkable has happened: World War III has broken out. And in this war, the focus is on you and your M1A1 Abrams Main Battle Tank; the most respected and feared land weapons system.

M-1 Abrams Battle Tank does everything but actually put you in command of a real tank. It realistically simulates an onboard ballistics computer that will help you fight your way through eight dangerous missions, each with its own specific objective.

Your 63-ton tank has formidable fighting power with 120 mm smooth bore cannon capable of 40 rounds, backed up with a 7.2 mm MG capable of 80 rounds per minute. Heavily armored and driven by a 1,500 horsepower gas turbine engine, your tank is the hope of the allies. Don't let them down!
