Open Source Games
Battle City
Battle City is a free online tank wars game. Players ride a tank, build a city and destroy the enemy. The purpose of the game is to “Orb” the enemy by dropping the Orb on their Command Center. When you successfully Orb the enemy their entire base is destroyed and you earn points! You start off as a Private but will receive promotions as you earn more and more points.
Dropping the Orb on the enemy Command Center will not be easy as you will first need to Bomb buildings and destroy your opponents defensive infrastructure. For obvious reasons, the Command Center is always heavily guarded so teamwork will be essential if you hope to achieve victory!
