- Remember to support the Author efforts if you like to own this game
- or decide to keep this game on your Hard disk. This game is not free
- to keep without mailing in your registration form and the Author
- requested shareware fee of only $5.00 + .52 cents for s/h. I'll mail

- Please to register this game so I can continue bringing you some
- fun and easy games to play under Windows!
-
- It is such small request for so much features, and I know you'll
- like the special sound effects you hear in this game.
-
- If you got your computer system w/ sound card hookup to a Dolby Pro
- Logic Surround Sound system well you better turn it up and hear the
- expanded real actual tank wave sound effects. If you got just the
- plain Dolby Surround Sound System, it will also works well. If not,
- your mini amp computer speaker will burst with this sound.
-
- This game offers a few new stuff that you haven't seen in my other
- popular games like BRATS, WINSHOOTER, CRIME ALLEY,
- 3D CUBE BLOCKBUSTERS, FLIPACES, TIMEBOMB, and SMILEE!
-
- All my games like above and the new Tank Tracker all have these new
- features. More games will follow, base on Space, Medieval,
- Westerns, Bombs, Triple 3D Simulated Skyscapers, and more funny
- games like feed crying baby Brats etc.. Much more animation in
- both graphics and mouse cursor actions.

-
- When you see this label Wave System Sound, is available only if you
- have either of the following; Sound Card or Board installed or
- Speaker.drv to play the wave sound through your build in Pc speaker.
- Sound Card option is better, since you can play the wave sound through
- you mini amp spks or through your home stereo unit.
-
- Note: The Tank Tracker sounds are real sounds effects and are not
- computer generated, or fake arcade sounds! Click on any main menu
- item from Options thru Help and you will hear tank wave sounds also.
- Now you'll also get real female voice announcement when you click
- on Exit that will be address to you.
-
- Since this game is a ShareWare Copy and is only for evaluation purposes
- only OPTIONS is not available, and I already setup the game time to
- 2:00 minutes, speed is just slow and the number of open targets is less.
- This will give you a good idea what you can get when you send in your
- Register fee of only $5.00 plus .52 cents for shipping/ handling.
-
- Under the registered version target windows are set to the max, game speed
- is normal an game time is set to 3.5 minutes game play. You may change
- these setting if you like and game play can even be set to 1 second to
- 10 minutes. You also get higher scoring than the shareware version.
-
- On the main menu Register is replace with Hints on the game. Also when
- you register this game you'll can also get a none sound version & this
- sound version for the same shareware fee if you like. Registered users
- get, TipNews Letter when it's available, coupons off your next order
- of games.
-
- Tank Tracker Plot:
- ------------------
- Tank Tracker is base on the old arcade game rooms in malls back in
- the 80's. This is a Tank Simulator for Windows, which puts you behind
- the wheel of the tank and also as the tank gunner.
-
- Tank Simulator gives you the feel actual tank movement, explosions
- sounds. You view the enemy targets in a 3D 3 sided display windows
- while you see your tank controls in a 3D view in front of you. Colorful
- explosions, 3D mini tanks in more targets to shot at in this game. 3D
- background outside your tank viewing area of a mountains, sunset and
- clouds. Your mouse will become a tank target sight aimier cannon and
- will give off real tank fire sound when you click now on your mouse.
