    A note to everyone. This is the first version of Atomic Tanks in a long time which will be offered to two different flavors, Stable and Experimental. Both have new features and, we hope, you find both solid. However, Expeirmental carries more new features and ideas, while the Stable branch tries to be more conservative. Enjoy!

  • 12/17/2007 - It was one year ago today that I annouced new life coming into Atomic Tanks. Since then, Atomic Tanks has gone through eight releases, fixing numberous bugs and adding small features. Atomic Tanks has spread to be included in at least two new Linux distributions and has been featured in gaming magazines. I call that a success. I am glad to annouce that I am happy to continue working on Atomic Tanks and I hope that members of the community will continue to aid in the development of this fun little game. I couldn't do this without the hard work of artists, packagers, documentation writers and people offering up suggestions and bug reports. Thank you all.

  • 03/15/2007 - We've made some website changes. A few things have been moved, a few pages have been updated. The biggest change is that the Atomic Tanks website no longer uses PHP.
