OMG! i cannot belive this.
eurogamer reports that Snowblind Studios are creating a new version of Death Tank for Xbox LIVE.
incase you guys dont know what Death Tank is, here is a quick run down (stolen from Wikipedia)
Death Tank is a 2D multiplayer versus shooter, set on a hilly terrain. Similar to a real-time Scorched Earth or Worms, it supports up to 7 differently-colored tanks with a range of weapons to battle it out. The terrain on which this occurs, an ever-decreasing yellow landscape, is completely obliterated by the players during gameplay or otherwise gradually whittles down to a flat plain.
The original Death Tank was a bonus game in the Sega Saturn version of PowerSlave. Its sequel/update was Death Tank Zwei, hidden in the Sega Saturn version of Duke Nukem 3D.
If i remember right, you had to have a save game from Duke Nukem and Hexen or something and it unlocked this bad boy. i used to spend many nights at a friends house with 2 multitaps and 7 of us playing the hell out of this. so many arguments. good times.
also it mentions that Ezra Dreisbach, the creator of Death Tank now works for Snowblind. so you know, awsome.
