Overview

1-4 players are put in tanks on screen on a variety of different undulating terrains or the coverless "dust bowl", and take it in turns to hurl countless different bombs, missiles and uncategorisable weapons at each other. They can defend themselves with shields, targeting systems, fuel for movement and a host of other items, but can be hampered by the landscape, wind and the "walls" which enclose the play area. All these items can be bought from the "shop", and players gain money to spend in it by winning games.

As of v2.00, Nuclear Holocaust is Shareware. You can download the full game here but if you wish to legally keep your copy, you must send me not less than £5 to register as a user. Consider it "try before you buy" software; there is an element of trust involved.

Calling programming groups

I have been contacted by registered users requesting improvements that I cannot make myself. It is getting to the point where my own programming abilities aren't good enough. If you think you would like to take over development, mail me. You will need to be a good C/ARM programmer and I would like to see some of your previous work.
