Has anyone else discovered this hidden multiplayer gem yet ?.Its like the old school arcade game 'Tank'.Its a tremendous amount of fun and it only cost 200 M$ points (about £1.50).Its a local multiplayer game (1 - 4 players) and once you get on it with a few mates you'll have the most fun you've had since 'Mashed'.The graphics are terrible but it just doesn't matter,this is old school gaming heaven.There are a few game types such as straight up kill everyone deathmatch,2 on 2 mini team deathmatch,Last man standing etc.Once have have fired your shell it will deflect once its hits an obstacle.This means you can shoot around corners or if you totally misjudge it,kill yourself instead with a boomerang shot !.Until your shell leaves the gaming area or hits an opponent you can cannot fire again.If you miss you are a sitting duck for the next 10 seconds.The controls are as simple as any game gets the left stick controls the tank,the right the turret and the right trigger fires.You can increase the A.I. of your computer controlled opponents once you start getting the hang of the game but there is sadly no online mode.This is a real shame as that would have been a real blast.Maybe one may get added in the future if enough people buy the game ?.But for £1.50 there is really no excuse for not buying it.

I'd be surprised if there's not a Flash game similar to this out there.
It reminds me of the old VCS Tank game with the basic 1 on 1 tank combat. I used to play that all the time back in the day.
As you say, it'd be fantastic multiplayer.
