First released in 2003 for [[UsefulNotes/IBMPersonalComputer PC]] and UsefulNotes/{{Xbox}}, the game featured a simple enough, arcade plot: You've been kidnapped by aliens, and fight your way out. By the way, you're a disembodied brain in a tank who is implied to be the brain of a soldier.

The main attraction of the game which has subsequently died down was multiplayer. The developer has since been absorbed into Garage Games and the game had a short PlayForFree period from 2009 to 2010, before simply vanishing from the radar altogether, not even being available for purchase from the publisher's site (however, it can still be purchased from Shockwave.com for seven American dollars).

* CompetitiveBalance: Theoretically it was designed to be this with the three classes of tanks. In practice, it was all [[LightningBruiser high-speed, fast-shooting light tanks all the time]]. Players who tried to compete with the medium and heavy tanks would get utterly destroyed by the light tanks driving circles around them, and the use of the other two classes quickly became an indicator of noobishness.
