Great Tank is one of those NES games that looks simple at first—just a little tank rolling around a grid—but gets surprisingly intense once you figure out how it works. You control a tiny armored vehicle, dodging enemy fire while trying to blast your way through blocky terrain. The Japanese version feels a bit smoother than some of the other tank sims from that era, though don’t expect anything too flashy.

At first, I kept running into walls because the controls take a second to get used to, but once it clicks, you start planning routes and picking off enemies before they corner you. The music’s got that classic 8-bit military vibe—simple but weirdly catchy after a while. If you’re into retro tank games, this one’s a solid time-killer.
