Classic Tank Games

[NowhereMan]

Back in the day, before I joined MFGG the first time, when I was into sprite comics, Geoweasel, a sprite comic site (turned into a Flash animation series) had a GroupBoard (a drawing board, with chat and games), on its site. This is essentially where I met all of my own sprite comic friends. The GroupBoards (an actual brand) are now completely different, used for education purposes. However, there was a top-down view Tank game where you could have up to four players, and used the keys on the keyboard to move around obstacles to shoot each other, a battle royal. I think this game was just called Tanks. I used to play it with my real life friends online after my sprite comic days dissolved. 

Now that I am returning to NES, there are two games in similar style, Battle City and Iron Tank. Here is a screen shot from Battle City. 



The tank game from the GroupBoard was more colorful, I don't think the background was just black. But I have been looking for this game everywhere, to no availability or information, for that matter, anywhere, which is why these games are a great find. 

Do you have any recommendations for me, as a player who likes old tank games?
