Lost In Translation/Tank Battalion

About The Game
Tank Battalion is a multi-directional arcade video game shoot-em-up.

The player, controlling a tank, must destroy 20 enemy tanks in each level, which enter the play-field from the top of the screen. The enemy tanks attempt to destroy the player's base (represented on the map as an eagle), as well as the player's tank. A level is completed when the player destroys all 20 enemy tanks, but the game ends if the player's base is destroyed or the player loses all his lives.

Trivia
