'''''ThinkTanks''''', also called '''''TT''''', is an online multiplayer [[third-person shooter]] available for [[Microsoft Windows]], [[Mac OS|Mac]], and [[Linux]]. It was developed by [[BraveTree Productions]] and marketed by [[GarageGames]] and [[Shockwave.com]]. It has numerous fan sites, among which [http://www.planetthinktanks2.com Planet ThinkTanks 2] is considered "home" for most players (also called "ThinkTankers" or "TTers"). 

As of version 1.1, development on ThinkTanks by GarageGames has ceased, and it is now largely community-maintained, with new material being constantly added by a loosely-knit group of modders and scripters..

==Gameplay==
Aliens from "Alien Mind Control" have kidnapped human soldiers and put their brains into tanks. Then, they set the tanks on replicas of Earth terrains and watch them fight for their own amusement. The player has a mutation that lets him resist their mind control, and has to get off the alien planet.

There are three single-player game modes: in Solo play, the player has to beat level after level, rotating through Lush, Spooky, and Frantic maps with progressively harder bots to fight. A boss level occurs every 4 levels. Target Practice pits a player against an army of disarmed bots to test his/her aim. Quick Play causes a quick match on any map between the player and 6 bots in "indie" battlemode- anything that moves is a target.

*Battlemode: Anything that moves is a target and must be shot at.
*Team Battlemode: Same as Battlemode, except there are 2 teams. (not available in demo)
*"Indie" Scrum: The object is to get the "scrum ball" into the pulsating green goal- by themself, with everyone else trying to do the same thing.
*Team Scrum: Same as Indie Scrum, except 2 teams are trying to beat each other. (not available in demo)

== Armies ==
Many members have taken to creating or joining "armies" or "clans" (groups of friends and/or allies in ''ThinkTanks'') with their online friends. Any player can start their own army or clan, or join one with the possibility of someday rising to become leader of an army or clan.
