About Tank Command

Tank Command is a vertically scrolling action game. You control a tank on a mission to capture the enemy flag as well as earn as many points as possible. To do this, you will need to blast your way through their defenses on three levels of increasing difficulty. Blocking your progress are enemy tanks, pillboxes, missiles, jeeps, infantry, huts, and more, all of which earn you points when destroyed. Your tank is equipped with a limited amount of fuel and ammo, however it can be replenished occasionally by collecting the bonus icons when they appear on the screen. If you can make it past all of the obstacles and capture the flag, then you win the game! The 7800 is pretty much void of super-rare games like the 2600'?s Tooth Protectors and Chase the Chuckwagon, but don't worry, tracking down Tank Command in a box will cost you a pretty penny. As far as gameplay goes, Tank Command is not going to blow anyone away. Here you have a vertical scroller like Commando or Ikari Warriors minus the charm, quality level design, and reasonable difficulty. There are only three levels in the game, but just like its Froggo cousin Water Ski, the difficulty ramps so severely after the mindless first level that continuing takes strong will. The pink terrain is a bit odd, as well. Tank Command was only released in NTSC format.

Atari 7800 prices, all games & how to spot a fake

A very rare Froggo cartridge that is valuable for scarcity alone, with almost nothing documented about the game.

Froggo developed and published Tank Command in North America around 1988, with catalog number FG2003. Froggo was originally a controller manufacturer. That is nearly all the record says about the game; there is no documented period review or development history for it.

By the price guides it ranks among the most expensive cartridges in the library.

Worth knowing

From the 7800 manual. Three levels of difficulty.
From the 7800 manual. Fuel and ammo are only resupplied by capturing enemy supply dumps.

Before you buy

AtariAge rates it very rare and notes that finding it in a box will cost a lot, and a complete copy is worth far more than a loose cart. It has a standard third-party label with serial FG2003, and original manuals have been scanned on archive.org for comparison. Pro-Line joystick. No reproductions or counterfeits are documented, but the price makes it a risk; the cartridge booting on a stock 7800 proves nothing, since reproductions since 2001 are signed to pass the check. Ask for photos of the label, the board and the manual.
