Overview
M-1 Abrams Battle Tank is a 3D military vehicle simulation game from Dynamix that allows players to take on missions across various locales in the titular armored vehicle. The game was ported to the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive a few years later by Realtime Games.
The player can choose the play through the entire campaign or any of the eight missions separately, all four crew positions are available - Driver, Gunner, Loader, and Commander - as well as several ammunition types for the main gun. The missions are linear and tightly scripted, and may become unwinnable if enemies are fought in the wrong order.
The MS-DOS version uses an early version of the 3D engine Dynamix later used for Betrayal at Krondor, while the Genesis port uses Realtime Games' Carrier Command engine.
