Tanks is definitely my favorite of the three Triple Action includes.
As two battle tanks, you and a friend try to defeat each other and score
points. Every time you kill your opponent, you score one point.
First one to 15 wins!

On the main screen of TA, after choosing your game, you will be able to
choose an option. Here is what each option does:
Option 1: Long-Range Ricochet
This is fun! Shoot a bullet at a wall, and it bounces back! The
bullets also can go very far.
Option 2: Short-Range Ricochet
Same as option 1, except your bullets don't fire as far.
Option 3: Long-Range No Ricochet
The bullets can shoot far, but they can't bounce off walls.
Option 4: Short-Range No Ricochet
Same as option 3, except the bullets fire a shorter distance.

Tips

- If you're playing with ricochet, be careful. If you shoot a bullet at
a wall, make sure you leave the area before it bounces back and kills
you, rewarding your opponent with a point!
- Walls are the only thing that you can use to protect yourself from
your opponent's fire, so make sure you use them in your protection.
However, although defense is important, make sure to work on offense
too. Look for opportunities to corner the enemy tank in an area where
they can't attack you!

You and somebody else are racing on a highway to see who can reach 100
game miles first. However, there are cars blocking your path. If you
crash, then you get charged a little bit of time to let your opponent
get away! Good luck!

Like an airborne version of the Tanks game, your objective is to destroy
your opponent's biplane by shooting it with your bullets. For one kill,
you earn one point. First to 15 points wins!
