Tank Resistance 2024
I saw this PC game advertised in an old Avalon Hill catalog from 1997 with an "available: Summer 1997!". I don't know if it is vaporware, or just a forgotten (and probably forgettable!) game. I'm asking around for help if anyone knows anything or has better search skills than I've got. 😀
I see very little reference to it online, the least sketchy from a store that "doesn't have it in stock": http://www.fishpond.co.nz/Games/Tank-Resistan … D/9999316215703
I've scanned and posted the picture with the advertisement, in case that would help; at least it gets the documentation online.
wrote:Tank Resistance 2024 is a futuristic tank strategy game. A hybrid gaming system - this game will combine turn-based strategy with arcade action Virtual Reality. The level of arcade play and detail will be selectable during game-play allowing pure strategists the ability to plan without interruption, while drawing the attention of other players with real-time battles.

As the colony's leader, it's up to you to plan defense and growth, while bringing the mutineers to justice.
edit: Someone turned up the "coming soon" reference at www.avalonhill.com on WaybackMachine under the What's Hot > Upcoming Releases links, but it just has the same info. Shortly thereafter Avalon Hill was acquired by Hasbro, so maybe this project was lost in the transition?
