About Battle City
The 1985 Namco tank game rebuilt for the web from the original ROM, with a stage select and editor.
The 1985 Namco tank game: defend the eagle at the bottom of a single screen from waves of enemy tanks, shooting through brick and around steel. Power-ups change your tank as you go.
The port adds the original's stage select and its stage editor as play modes, plus fullscreen, video recording and sound toggles.
How Battle City was made with AI
AI-made. The page's own label reads 'API-created: Battle City' and links to re-skill, a Claude Code skill for reverse-engineering ROMs, which is how the game was rebuilt: the tiles, palettes, level maps, physics and sound were reconstructed by studying the original Famicom ROM rather than by emulating it.
Made by vgrichina.
