XBLA: OH #%!& SON, IT'S 'DEATH TANK' FOR XBOX LIVE ARCADE

DEATHTANKYEAHYEAHYEAH.jpg

You have absolutely no idea how happy I am that finally, after 10 years of being the best multiplayer experience on the SEGA Saturn, that Death Tank is making its way onto the Xbox Live Arcade.

Death Tank is a 2D multiplayer experience that rocked the Saturn to its core - a 2D, incredibly simple game where you aim and shoot. Think Worms, but in real time.

Death Tank was in fact my first "What Needs To Be On XBLA?" feature, which you can read here.

I am so happy right now!

know what really needs to be on xbla? gunbound.

Of course, you have considered it may just be a game called "death tank" that is utter crap? I hope not, we can dream right?...

Death Tank is the best multiplayer ever made. EVER.

This game has been my favorite to work on and play in the past 10 + years. I can only hope they use my original theme song Deathtank. To all you gamers...Madcap says ROCK on DUDES!!

I love these old 2D artillery shooters, but if you want to play a 3D one and in realtime (with online 8 player combat, 20 weapons, and lots of other goodies), go check out my artillery combat game called Shelled! Online at http://www.redthumbgames.com/shelledonline/
