This cartridge consists of two war themed games: Red Baron and Panzer Attack. Both games are multiplayer only. Red Baron is played by two players while Panzer Attack can played by two to four players.

Red Baron is a dogfighting game played from a side perspective on a single screen. Both planes start rolling on the ground and have to lift before crashing into a barn. Once in the air the planes can be moved in all directions and it's also possible to alter the speed. The aim is simply to get as many kills as possible before the time runs out. The time limit is chosen by the players before starting out.

Panzer Attack is a tank game viewed from a top-down perspective. All player share the same single screen which has a few blockades for protections. The tanks can move in all directions and the aim of the game is simply to score points by destroying the other tanks. A battle ends when just one tank remains standing and the player with the highest score when all battle have been played wins. The number of battles can be chosen before starting out from 1-99.

TRIVIA

Although Midway did have a Panzer Attack coin-op, it was an Electro/Mechanical game, so this cart is based on the Atari/Kee Tank game, but the Panzer name was recycled.

Released as part of the "Action/Skill Series".
