Tank 8 was produced by Kee Games (a subsidiary of Atari) in 1976. Battle arena filled with barriers and "X"s that represent land mines is viewed from a overhead perspective by eight players who individually maneuver their uniquely colored tank in an effort to shoot the other. Tank 8 had two modes free-for-all and team-play. In free-for-all mode you get points for every kill. In team mode, tanks were red or blue and points were scored only for killing members of the opposite team. In a design that was ahead of its time, you did have to watch out to make sure you didn't frag members of your own team.
