Armor Attack is a top-down vector shoot 'em up arcade game released by Cinematronics in 1980, licensed to Sega in Japan.

Description

The player controls a small jeep and must destroy the many tanks and helicopters that populate the war-torn cityscape that represents the game's single play area. As with many vector games of the time, all of the background graphics were created with the addition of a monitor bezel/plastic overlay; with the game itself only generating the monochrome jeeps, tanks, helicopters and the shots they fire.

Availability

The game was originally released as a coin-operated arcade cabinet. It was also licensed for conversion to the Vectrex video game console system.
