It was a big success, so much so that distributors abandoned their demands for exclusive agreements, allowing Atari to reveal that it owned Kee. Had several sequels: ''Tank 2'' (with land mines), ''Tank III'', ''Tank 8'' (for up to eight players), and ''Ultra Tank''. It's the ancestor of the tank games in ''VideoGame/{{Combat|Atari2600}}'' for the UsefulNotes/{{Atari 2600}}.

''Tank'' is the first tank combat game, created by {{Atari}} and released in 1974 by Atari's subsidiary (and fake "rival" to get around exclusive agreements with distributors) Kee Games. It's a PlayerVersusPlayer, [[TimedMission timed]], TopDownView battle between two tanks in a maze of walls.

It was a big success, so much so that distributors abandoned their demands for exclusive agreements, allowing Atari to reveal that it owned Kee. Had several sequels: ''Tank 2'' (with land mines), ''Tank III'', ''Tank 8'' (for up to eight players), and ''Ultra Tank''. It's the ancestor of the tank games in ''VideoGame/{{Combat}}'' for the {{Atari 2600}}.
