About Fire Power

Fire Power is a DOS era game where players control tanks from an overhead perspective. The objective involves assaulting an opposing fortress while defending your own.

Combat includes engagements with enemy vehicles such as helicopters, and a notable auditory detail is the sound effect made when a tank drives over infantry. The design strongly emphasizes two player competition, supporting split screen play or connection via modem or cable.
