Existing users, 
I'm shocked that the "creators" of Atomic Cannon aren't being sued by Cornerstone TSP, the author of Pocket Tanks. Atomic Cannon is a blatant copy. Everything is identical -- weapons, controls, variable conditions, terrain -- everything.
Thankfully, Atomic Cannon is such a crappy knock-off that I doubt many people will be stupid enough to buy it. I can't wait to alert Cornerstone TSP about this flagrant disregard of copyright.
Check out Pocket Tanks at the link below. I've spent hours playing Pocket Tanks with my kids. Lots of fun and well worth the shareware fee.

they are all imitations - BrianMarsh
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scorched_Earth_%28computer_game%29"Such games are among the earliest computer games, with versions existing for mainframes with only teletype output."
Scorched Earth was pretty big in the early 90's, and seems to be the one most since have been modeled after.

Bad Imitation of Pocket Tanks - Pandy
This game concept dates back at least 15 years - tanks on randomly generated 2D terrain shooting at each other. Pocket tanks was definitely not the first, and I welcome more variations on this concept.Reply to This
