Tank Battalion is a 1980 arcade multidirectional shooter video game developed by Namco and released by Game Plan Inc. in the USA on December 2, 1980. The player, controlling a tank, must destroy twenty enemy tanks in each round, which enter the playfield from the top of the screen. The enemy tanks attempt to destroy the player's base (represented on the map as an eagle) as well as the player tank itself. A round is cleared when the player destroys all twenty enemy tanks, but the game ends if the player's base is destroyed or they run out of lives.
