<span>Pocket Tanks Deluxe</span> is certainly not the best game in the world but it is a very fun game and it's definitely a GOG in my book. Artillery game enjoyable both against CPU and especially against an alive opponent.
I wrote an email to the creator of this fine piece of software couple of days ago to ask about his future plans about it, so here's our correspondence:
Hello!
I tried your game loooong time ago (probably about 10 years ago), I liked it then, I like it still.
I would very much like to purchase Pocket Tanks Deluxe - Collector's Edition to show my appreciation and supportfor your lovely work on such a good Scorched Earth remake.
However, the prices on your site are far from reasonable if you don't mind me being completely sincere. And if I understood right, even Collector's Edition doesn't have all the weapon packs included.
So, I decided to ask you about your plans for the future.
Would you like to sell (I'm mostly interested in Windows version) your game on popular online game stores like Steam and (especially) GOG.com?
I'm an active member of the GOG forums community, so I can 'check the pulse of interest' there if you'd like.
From my point of view, the best thing for the future of this game (and may it live forever!) is for you to take everything you developed and put it into one Pocket Tanks Super Deluxe package, priced at let's say 9.99$ and sell it on at least one of those two online stores I mentioned.
Hope you'll at least take this into consideration.
Please, reply to this e-mail, whatever the situation turns out to be.
Best regards,
BranjoHello

Hello,
I agree that the Collector’s Edition is a little out of date in both content and price.
As for Steam, we are considering doing a proper release with a whole new version of the game that includes in-apppurchases and online play, just like the mobile version. So, there’s no plan to release the current PC/Mac version ofPocket Tanks on GoG, Steam, or anything. We are looking to the future.
Thanks for the feedback. There will be something on Steam at some point I imagine that will better meet your expectations.
Regards,

Thanks for very quick reply, Mike!
I'm glad to hear you're working to improve the game. I hope that the basic version you're planning to release on Steam will have a lot of weapons already included and that additional DLC purchases won't be a big investment.
I'd like to take this opportunity to tell you that GOG.com is working on a client of their own called Galaxy and it will be released soon. It will be similar to Steam client (and hopefully even better), so I guess you should really at least consider that option as well.
Please add my e-mail to newsletter subscription if you have something like that, I'd like to follow the game progress.
All the best to you, good luck with your work and Happy Holidays! :)
Regards,
BranjoHello

You can download a shareware version of the game on official web site and try it out yourself.
I guess if you'd like to see this game available here on GOG.com as well, you can vote on the wishlist..
..or write a polite mail to [email protected] like I did.
So, it looks like I decided to 'check the pulse of interest', my dear fellow GOGers. :)
Let's hope one day we'll have a GOG Community Pocket Tanks League, that would be a blast!
If I learn anything more about this game's status in the future I'll post it here.
Feel free to share your opinion on the game, ask questions, discuss, etc.
Good gaming wishes to everyone!

Gameplay[edit]
The point of Pocket Tanks, often abbreviated as PTanks or simply as PT, is to use various weapons to attack the other player's tank. Each hit scores a certain number of points, which varies based on the weapon and proximity. At the end of 10 volleys, the player with the highest points wins.
The game features a fully destructible environment, which allows player to put themselves on pedestals, in tunnels, or bunkers, allowing for the probability of strategic play. Pocket Tanks supports weapon expansion packs, players can have up to 320 different weapons in total. Network play was made available in the v1.3 release.
Expansion packs[edit]
There are 'weapon packs' available which give the player more weapon choices during gameplay. However, these expansion packs are only available to those who own Pocket Tanks Deluxe. For the PC version, there are 30 Expansion Packs available to download on the web page. All packs that include 5 weapons are free, while those with 15 have to be purchased (mobile versions only). There are 320 weapons in total, including 30 from the original game and 290 from the Deluxe Version.
Development history[edit]
Michael P. Welch from Blitwise Productions created Amiga games before he started developing PC games such as Super DX-Ball and Neon Wars. Welch developed Pocket Tanks as remake/sequel of the Amiga game Scorched Tanks and extended the game-play with modified physics, dozens of new weapons, and the ability to move the tank.

A Collector's Edition of Pocket Tanks was released on November 16, 2007. It contains the first 14 expansion packs and the Deluxe version of Pocket Tanks.
