WHY THIS GAME IS SHAREWARE: "I NEED EXTRA MONEY! BIG TIME!"
I work full-time, but like programming after I get off work. It's winter time so I
have the time to program, in the summer time I work part-time on my neighbor's farm, raking hay and bush-hogging to get extra money. But, it's winter time and my wife Beverly (the female voice "DESTROY ENEMY GUNSHIP"), is pregnant with our first child, due in February 1996. If this game provides you with enjoyment, send $5 to:

HISTORY:
This game is the sequel to TANK-OFF v1.0. For one thing, TANK-OFF II features
animated, full screen graphics (640x480) and more than just an enemy tank to battle.
You have 3 missions:
1.Liberate the town of Mosheim from a enemy tank.
2.Then proceed to Parrotsville where you do battle with a helicopter gunship.
3.And finally to Newport where you come face to face with the enemy's headquarters/
radar base.
HOW TO PLAY:
If you haven't played TANK-OFF before, it's simple. When you first run it, press the blue "NEW" button at the lower-right-hand corner of the screen.
Press the FIRE button to begin battling. The game will then go thru a "movie" showing your tank firing on the enemy and the enemy's response. While the "movie" is playing the mouse cursor will be displayed as a watch. After this, you have the option of continuing the battle or restarting (pressing "NEW") or quitting (pressing "QUIT").
HINTS:
You can shoot the enemy without them firing back as long as you don't miss.
IMPROVEMENTS: (over TANK-OFF v1.0)
1.Full screen (640x480) 256 color graphics featuring animation.
(See "Programmer's Notes" to see the animation routines used)
2.Faster-paced game play: No more of player miss, enemy miss, player miss, etc.
3.After you defeat the tank or gunship, 20% of your armor will be restored. This way
you don't go into the next battle armorless and have to be extremely lucky to win.
4.Friendly interface. The game's control panel (located at the bottom of the screen) shows exactly how much armor you have and how many hits the enemy can take.
