I am going to have to try it. Brings back memories. I got hooked on the Apple ][ version (http://corewar.co.uk/robotwar/) back in the 80's and started a version for the Amiga called "Tonks" but it never got off the drawing board. I've always loved this game concept. Even did a version to run each tank on a node of an Intel Hypercube as a school project. -- Dan
