Is there anyone out in net-land that remembers how to get
extra tanks after 100,000?
I remember seeing someone with five extra tanks after their
initials, but have never been able to get more than one...

It gives you one for every n points above 100,000, but I can't
remember what n is anymore. I thought it was just the straightforward
100,000 points/tank, but it could be a million or something.
That was a truly fun vector game!

P.S. -- How much is one of those worth right now? Is it in the
purchaseable range yet? Are they hard to maintain?

Assuming this is about Battlezone.. one of the all time classics..
I suspect it's done by turning the machine over..
can anyone confirm this?
tanks in advance.
