Battle City

         One of the best "buddy" games for the Family Computer / NES, or maybe for any console for that matter. The premise was simple enough, you and your enemy had a base. The objective was to destroy each others base using tanks which you controlled. What doubled the fun was being able to play with a buddy using the other controller. If played strategically, you could go a very long way as long as you defend the vital positions among the obstructions and pathways. Too add more fun, the tanks can be upgraded through power-ups. Mayhem ensues when a trigger-happy player accumulates enough firepower to penetrate the games metal barriers, inadvertently killing his teammate or shooting down their own base.
