James UK: Well worth the download. If you loved "TANKS" on the Amiga, then this is a must. [2006-07-11 04:07]

Martin: The link to the website is broken. [2006-12-17 05:20]

Andrew Lee: The website appeared to be undergoing redesign, so it is in a flux. I have updated the web link, but a lot of other information eg. user guide appears to be missing. [2006-12-18 04:55]

Martin: I can only find 0.99c R2, not 1.0 … [2006-12-18 07:20]

a: haha this game is fun.. reminds me of worms 2 which is a classic.. highly recommended [2006-12-18 12:35]

Andrew Lee: Dunno why the regression in version. But I have updated the version for this entry to match. [2006-12-19 03:39]

HrWasp: Doesn't work. Can only see the TEXT for .99 R2. [2006-12-19 10:19]

NCC-1701: Worked great yesterday; won't even launch today. Windoz sez the application cannot start because it isn't "configured correctly." [2006-12-20 04:33]

Shawn: Diddo,
I played fine yesterday, Today I went to boot it and no luck, bad configuration file. I just downloaded it again and I will perform some experimentation. [2006-12-21 12:49]

Scott: Seriously, someone post a different link or something. This doesn't work. [2007-01-16 12:16]

Seppo: I launched on one PC from a stick - worked fine - launched on another and was not "configured correctly" - launched on a third and worked fine. Tried again on the first - worked fine. It only does not work on one PC. Must have some sort of requirement ... [2007-03-26 09:17]

Matt: Doesn't work "Application not configured correctly" Windoze suggests reinstall??? [2007-09-12 18:35]

happy: I would have much rather seen the original back. this one is too "pokemon" and you can never beat the original weapons of games like these. [2008-03-14 13:34]

Smackbringer: Hey guys, if the game doesn't work for you, make sure you've downloaded Microsoft's C++ Redistributable 2005. Its a free download off of Microsoft's website. It fixes most install issues. [2009-06-11 12:42]

For more general topics (eg. whether apps that write to the registry, leave traces on the host machine, rely on certain versions of IE etc. can be considered portable), please post to the Portable Freeware Discussion forum. If your virus scanner has detected a virus in the application, please email the author directly or post to the forum. Note that false positives (i.e. flagging a virus when there is actually none) are extremely common for virus scanners. When in doubt, try an online scanner like Online Malware Scanner or VirusTotal, which scans files using multiple anti-virus engines. It is very likely to be a false positive if only a few engines raise the red flag.
