==Versions==

Tank Wars is 320x200 256 colors only.  It prefers 286 and 386 computers, but is playable on 486s and slow Pentiums as well.  Versions 2.0 and 2.5 seem to be optimized for the 286 PS/2 computers that were handed out to schools in 1988-1991.  Versions 3.0 and 3.2 are optimized for slower 386 machines. Tank Wars runs under [[Windows XP]], but the game runs almost unplayably fast and there are graphical glitches that prevent one from seeing the angle/power settings.
You can manually edit settings.cfg and tweak the keyboard settings.

You can download the DOS emulator DOSbox from DOSbox.com to slow the game down on faster computers.
