Great Tank: Iron Tank is one of those classic NES games that throws you right into the action—no fuss, no long intros. You start off with your tank rolling onto a beach, and within seconds, you're blasting through enemy soldiers, dodging gunfire, and taking down other tanks. The controls are simple, but don’t let that fool you—some of those armored trains and gunboats can wreck you if you’re not careful.

What I like is how the game mixes things up. One minute you're dodging land mines, the next you're getting strafed by planes or trying not to get fried by electric fences. And rescuing POWs? Yeah, some of them actually give you useful tips, which is a nice touch. The rocket strikes are ridiculous (in a good way)—just massive explosions everywhere.

It’s not the deepest tank sim out there, but it’s got that old-school arcade feel where you just keep pushing forward, blowing stuff up. Perfect for a quick session when you want some straightforward chaos.
