Hack description

Tank 1990 is a hack of Battle City made by Chinese bootleg company, Yanshan Software.

The hack includes 15 hacks of Battle City, each labeled from A to N.

Each of these hacks have a combination of new levels with different enemy waves.

Enemy tanks have mixed abilities, like small tanks have armor like large tanks, large tanks appear without armor.

New powerups are available, like the gun icon that instantly buffs the player tank and the ship icon where the player can move on water.

Beware! Enemy tanks can pickup the powerups, too!

Nostalgia! Our pirate gaming cartridgediablo6662021-12-15Version 1.0

In Russia, this was not considered a hack, it was considered a "Sequel" or an "Improvement" of the original.

On the one hand: I agree, because in this there are new levels (and some are qualitatively redesigned old ones), Different game modes and, most importantly, diversity in enemies and their improved AI. The fact that they - like us - collect a bonus - it gives freshness to the original game. Plus new bonuses - open up new opportunities

On the other hand: I disagree, because the elements remained original. Therefore, this is a hack.

But despite the nostalgia, it is well done. Of course, not without Flaws, but much more interesting than the original
