Action1993

Description

This puzzle game depicted the player as a miniature armored vehicle attempting to travel through the circuit boards of a malfunctioning computer, repairing each board (level).

It was the only product actually shipped by Twin Dolphin Games, although they also completed an old-west target gallery game, but they ceased operations before the boxes arrived for the latter game.

Nanotank was one of the few games intended for Windows 3.1 before the advent of WinG (the first thing Microsoft ever did to support game development on Windows). It was a very short project, leveraging knowledge gained from the abandoned attempt to make a high-visual-quality animated wargame for Windows 3.1.
