Flash Games

MicroTanks

Let Flash Friday begin. I know… it’s a mix of cheers and boos… but who can turn down a Flash game!? Ever since Macromedia took Flash from it’s roots in rudimentary vector graphic movies to full-blown, lightweight web applications the possibilities have been nearly endless. I am learning this stuff heavily at work right now and thoroughly enjoying it. Maybe I might even get one of my own creations on here at some point. Unfortunately I can’t show any Flash stuff I’ve done at work because it’s a regular highly classified facility complete with razor wire and guards wielding automatic weapons (no… really).

Well, let’s not have all this Flash talk and military talk without a little mixin’ of the two. You remember Combat for the Atari 2600? It came bundled with the console (Pac-Man, too!) for a long time. This little cutie called MicroTanks is pretty close to that.

    Yeah… sometimes I’d rather play these simple clsassics than the more complicated and time-consuming newer ones.

    Beat it, overall the last level was the easiest.
    My strategy was basically something i call: “trapping”.
    What you do is get the enemy tank in a spot to where it is trying to go toward you, but an object is blocking the way.
    After you have him in that position, get to a point to where you can bounce your bullets off of the wall.
    Once you hit him, keep spraying.
    He won’t be able to shoot you because the AI on this game sucks.
    Hope that helps.

    I’m always playing this game back then and it was very enjoyable unlike now, seems like it’s very hard to control and also very confusing. :D
