Yeah I remember that game, though I forget what I had it on. It's definitely fun to waste some time on

weapon packs give you upto about 230 different type of weapons to chose from

click on the weapon packs and see what ammo there is

Some are free, so worth getting. I'm not so sure on charging $8 for just 15 weapons, though.

It used to be on the school server, so everyone just ripped it from there. It includes all of the weapons, including some of the expensive sets.

I'm not surprised it was on your school server, playing network pocket tanks sounds like exactly the kind of thing IT staff across the world spend their time doing

Now scorched tanks was the bomb, the amount of equipment in that game was ridiculous... good old mountain movers.

Oh pocket tanks is fun as well.

Ditto! People used to play that on the rubbish-as-hell PCs in my college's in library back when I was living in South Africa, so that must have been 5 or 6 years ago. WinChip 166MHz CPUs, they were utterly awful machines.

Remember the original version on the ZX Spectrum,think it was by Mastertronic
