Battle City 4 Players Hack (v1.3) is a popular ROM hack of the classic top-down tank shooter for the NES. It expands the original game’s cooperative multiplayer mode to support up to four players simultaneously. Players must defend their eagle base from endless waves of enemy tanks across various maze-like arenas, utilising power-ups and destructible terrain to survive.
How to play
The objective is to destroy all enemy tanks in each stage while protecting the eagle emblem at the bottom of the screen. If the eagle is destroyed or all players lose their lives, it’s game over.
- D-pad (Arrow Keys): Move your tank
- A/B Buttons (Z/X): Fire shells
- Start (Enter): Pause the game / Start the stage
- Select (Shift): Choose number of players on the title screen
Tips
- Watch out for flashing enemy tanks; destroying them spawns power-ups like the star (upgrades your tank) or the grenade (destroys all on-screen enemies).
- Friendly fire will stun your teammates temporarily, so coordinate your fire carefully when playing with others.
- You can destroy brick walls to forge new paths, but steel walls require a fully upgraded tank to penetrate.
