Thankyou for downloading and trying out Tank Tracker for Windows!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
PLEASE PASS THIS GAME AROUND TO OTHERS WHO USE WINDOWS
JUST KEEP ALL THESE FILE TOGETHER THOUGH!
Remember to support the Author efforts if you like to own this game
or decide to keep this game on your Hard disk. This game is not free
to keep without mailing in your registration form and the Author
requested shareware fee of only $5.00 + .52 cents for s/h. I'll mail
you the latest copy of this game to you on a 3.25 disk unless you
request 5.25 disk is also available.
Please to register this game so I can continue bringing you some
fun and easy games to play under Windows!
It is such small request for so much features, and I know you'll
like the special sound effects you hear in this game.
If you got your computer system w/ sound card hookup to a Dolby Pro
Logic Surround Sound system well you better turn it up and hear the
expanded real actual tank wave sound effects. If you got just the
plain Dolby Surround Sound System, it will also works well. If not,
your mini amp computer speaker will burst with this sound.
This game offers a few new stuff that you haven't seen in my other
popular games like BRATS, WINSHOOTER, CRIME ALLEY,
3D CUBE BLOCKBUSTERS, FLIPACES, TIMEBOMB, and SMILEE!
All my games like above and the new Tank Tracker all have these new
features. More games will follow, base on Space, Medieval,
Westerns, Bombs, Triple 3D Simulated Skyscapers, and more funny
games like feed crying baby Brats etc.. Much more animation in
both graphics and mouse cursor actions.
To find out more you should register today and if you would like
to get my latest game catalog just send in a self-address envelope
to the author which is me. See the enclosed ORDRFRM.WRI file for
a mini sneak preview of what is coming up in the future. Or take
a peek at my all new Windows Game Catalog under the file
name GAMECAT.TXT
New feature!

down Game menu drop access to start the game. Just click on Play

The word Continue will appear when you click on Pause then click

game or even on pause by hitting Play again to start a new game!
Stop the game now and bring up the introduction screen for a full

Also when you do a full Exit out while playing a game whenever you

like you hear from Windows.

Is back just to let you know when the game is over!
New feature!
------------
****PICTURE NOT AVAILABLE IN THIS TEXT FILE******
When you see this label Wave System Sound, is available only if you
have either of the following; Sound Card or Board installed or
Speaker.drv to play the wave sound through your build in Pc speaker.
Sound Card option is better, since you can play the wave sound through
you mini amp spks or through your home stereo unit.
Note: The Tank Tracker sounds are real sounds effects and are not
computer generated, or fake arcade sounds! Click on any main menu
item from Options thru Help and you will hear tank wave sounds also.
Now you'll also get real female voice announcement when you click
on Exit that will be address to you.
Since this game is a ShareWare Copy and is only for evaluation purposes
only OPTIONS is not available, and I already setup the game time to
2:00 minutes, speed is just slow and the number of open targets is less.
This will give you a good idea what you can get when you send in your
Register fee of only $5.00 plus .52 cents for shipping/ handling.
Under the registered version target windows are set to the max, game speed
is normal an game time is set to 3.5 minutes game play. You may change
these setting if you like and game play can even be set to 1 second to
10 minutes. You also get higher scoring than the shareware version.
On the main menu Register is replace with Hints on the game. Also when
you register this game you'll can also get a none sound version & this
sound version for the same shareware fee if you like. Registered users
get, TipNews Letter when it's available, coupons off your next order
of games.
Tank Tracker Plot:
------------------
Tank Tracker is base on the old arcade game rooms in malls back in
the 80's. This is a Tank Simulator for Windows, which puts you behind
the wheel of the tank and also as the tank gunner.
Tank Simulator gives you the feel actual tank movement, explosions
sounds. You view the enemy targets in a 3D 3 sided display windows
while you see your tank controls in a 3D view in front of you. Colorful
explosions, 3D mini tanks in more targets to shot at in this game. 3D
background outside your tank viewing area of a mountains, sunset and
clouds. Your mouse will become a tank target sight aimier cannon and
will give off real tank fire sound when you click now on your mouse.
