found it.  Too bad he's in Nebraska.

Just spent an hour reading through this entire thread and it just up and ended ?!?
No conclusion....
I want my money back.....

Kinda back in the day at the movie theater when the reel would just up and break towards the end of the movie.
 

Looking forward to seeing your progress on this one.

  That guy still has it and still hasn't touched it.  I'd push him to give it back except for the moment he's basically providing free storage for me.

Out of curiosity (you mentioned this thread in my Crash 'N Score thread), did you ever get the game back?

[ChadTower]

Heh, the guy still has it, and I keep saying "I'm going to go get it this weekend" and then it doesn't happen.

Then in the meantime, look at this SWEET looking machine my German friend Superully picked up:

I hope he can find some original controls....

Heh, a welded piece of pipe to a washer. Awesome.

Looks like the right side was carpeted at one point in time.

Do all German speedometers start at 20Kmh?
So 0-20 is nothing?

Ully's car is an Opel thus a (former) GM product.....

Wow, that is a clean looking Tank! I just picked a Tank up the other day, but sadly the cabinet was completely destroyed by water. I have all the guts and plan to build a new cab for it.

[ChadTower]

Oh nice, definitely keep a thread on that one.  I'd like to see it.

Attached you can find the datasheet for the ROM. Very hard to find.
Contents are the same between Tank and Tank II supposedly. Dumps are in the wild these days.

[ChadTower]

Wow.  Thanks!

I'm not one to necro old threads, but wanted to see if anybody knew of a source for the ROM used in Tank/Tank II.  I've got one that I'll be digging into soon (I expect my Logic Comparator to get a real workaround) and it would be nice to have a dump of the ROM just in case...

Game's powering up, CRT is up - some audio, some motor noise, but nothing close to playable.

@ChadTower - if that guy *still* has yours, I'd go pick that sucker up - given the time that's passed, you're better off finding somebody else to give it a once-over I suspect...especially after all the work you've already done!

Thanks for the informative thread; I suspect I'll be referring to it.

Heh, that guy actually does still have it.  At this point it's more about the fact that he buried the thing behind 50 other games in his warehouse.  I do need to go get it at some point but it's always "some other day".  I could probably fix it myself now if I had the hours to sit with a probe checking all of those TTL chips.  I've learned a LOT since then.
