'''''Tank''''' is the first tank combat game, created by [[Atari]] and released in 1974 by Atari's subsidiary (and fake "rival" to get around exclusive agreements with distributors) Kee Games. It's a [[Player Versus Player]], [[Timed Mission|timed]], [[Top Down View]] battle between two tanks in a maze of walls.
 
It was a big success, so much so that distributors abandoned their demands for exclusive agreements, allowing Atari to reveal that it owned Kee. Had several sequels: ''Tank 2'' (with land mines), ''Tank III'', ''Tank 8'' (for up to eight players), and ''Ultra Tank''. It's the ancestor of the tank games in ''[[Combat]]'' for the [[Atari 2600]].
