Developed by Imagineer and published by Absolute Entertainment, Super Battletank arrived on the Game Boy in 1994 as a simulation game.

It landed about 5 years into the Game Boy's life. Other notable Game Boy releases from 1994 include Donkey Kong, Mega Man V and Space Invaders.

It is part of the Battletank series. The series also appears on other systems with Super Battletank (SNES) and Super Battletank (Genesis). Imagineer also made Bart Simpson's Escape from Camp Deadly, The Simpsons: Bart vs. the Juggernauts and Swamp Thing for the Game Boy.

Super Battletank supports up to 2 players, whether that means taking turns or going head-to-head.

Pick it if…

  • you want to think and plan
  • you have time for a weekend project (roughly 6–20 hours)
  • you have a friend to play against
  • you've played the Game Boy hits and want something less obvious

Maybe skip it if…

  • you want clear goals and a defined ending

What playing Super Battletank is like

Simulation games model a system and let you play inside it, whether that means building a city, flying a plane, raising a pet or running a business.

Tip for newcomers: Simulations are often open-ended. Set yourself small goals and enjoy experimenting with the systems.
