An experiment with another method of scrolling shooter; the ostensible character stays still, while the background ostensibly moves around it. In fact the character is an enormous construction built from background blocks.
Big Fat Tank! is to Godzilla as Scurvy the Squirrel is to Adventure.
Instructions
Press the space bar to fire. Destroy all the jeeps!
After the jeeps, watch out for the armored car. It takes a bunch of hits to destroy. Don't let it pass you by!
Credits

Background
Alan Caudel:
- I knew that Big Fat Tank was pretty ridiculous, but I just wanted to see if I could make a huge character that took up most of the screen.
- I think my favorite part is the jeep explosions! I worked pretty hard to make them look good. And I like how if you time it right you can get a pretty long chain reaction of explosions going.
Availability
This game is not known to have been distributed in any form, prior to its addition to the Archive.
