Description
Desert Thunder is an arcade-style action tank game for the PC. Ripped from today’s headlines, the storyline immerses players into the heat of a desert-based military conflict. Players will tear through desert, urban and industrial settings in their experimental battle engine, the Abrams M1A6 Advanced tank that’s loaded with awe-inspiring devastating weapons and armored to near indestructibility. You are the commander of a top secret M1A6 experimental tank division in the Armor Task Force. Your mission was to lead the northern front of Operation Desert Thunder, a secret military operation to overthrow a terrorist faction that has taken control of a peaceful Middle Eastern country. Your mission has been compromised, your small battalion devastated. Left with no alternative, you must complete your mission to reach the capital city and rendezvous with allied forces.

Just blow it all up!

This isn't a realistic simulator. This is an arcade-style game. You destroy everything in your path, pick up buffs and follow the waypoints.

Horrible game

It's a very bad design game.. tanks are dumb AF, the micro soldier shoot rpg's like a machine gun at you and are anoying, not fun. Missions are long and boring (defend a petrol refinery for 15 fkn minutes), mouse control also sucks. This is a bad example that not all old games are great

Fun Initially, Bad After a Moment

The mouse started malfunctioning immediately, and aside from stuttering performance, it just didn't want to move diagonally. That aside, the gameplay is painfully minimalistic, and the narrative is blatantly a "product of its time". Charming, but shallow.
