Hovertank is a pioneering 1991 action shooter for DOS, developed by id Software. As an early milestone in first-person gaming, it places you in the cockpit of a heavily armed hovertank, tasked with navigating maze-like cities to rescue civilians before nuclear strikes wipe them out.
How to play
Your objective is to find and rescue all civilians within the time limit before proceeding to the exit portal. You will face mutated creatures and enemy hovertanks along the way. In the browser, you can control your tank using the arrow keys to move and turn, and press the Spacebar to fire your main cannon.
Tips
- Keep an eye on the radar at the bottom of the screen to track down remaining civilians, as the levels are complex mazes.
- Do not waste time trying to clear out every enemy; prioritize rescuing the people, since the clock is constantly ticking down.
