Battle City on NES is one of those classic tank games that somehow never gets old. You’re in control of this little green tank, blasting away at enemy tanks that keep rolling in from the top of the screen. The controls are simple—just move and shoot—but the levels get surprisingly tricky once they start swarming you.

What I love is how you can customize the battlefield by breaking walls or hiding behind indestructible blocks. The eagle base at the bottom is your lifeline—if it gets destroyed, game over. And those power-ups? Grabbing the star upgrades your firepower, which is a lifesaver when the screen’s packed with enemy tanks.

It’s got that perfect balance of strategy and reflexes—you can’t just rush in guns blazing, but you also can’t sit still for too long. The two-player co-op is where it really shines, though. Teaming up with a buddy to hold off waves of tanks feels like an arcade throwback in the best way.
