Players control a tank equipped with a rifle (controlled by using either A or C) and a missile launcher (controlled by using B). The guns can be adjusted vertically as the tank moves across the landscape horizontally. Three main enemies exist: infantrymen, helicopters, and paratroopers. Additionally, there are cargo drops of medical supplies and bullets that need to be destroyed. Players have a limited amount of rifle ammunition and seven missiles available per level. Missiles appear to only affect helicopters. The "enemy" gauge, showing the amount of enemies left in the level, and the tank has a "shield" meter, showing damage taken to the vehicle. When the shield is completely depleted, the game ends.
