How close was Atari to bankruptcy before the Kee Games acquisition? The Wikipedia page just indicates " Tank was a commercial success and is credited with buoying the finances of the newly merged Atari at a critical time for the company", which isn't going so far as saying Atari would've gone bankrupt. One source indicated that Tank basically saved Atari from bankruptcy in 1974.
Randy From published other modifications in PlayMeter April 77 & November 77 (both early & late issues) which included play controlled projectiles, alternating playfields, invisible tanks & return to base after shot." BTW, I found a PDF containing the manual/schematics for Tank (in the first part) and Tank II (in the second part) here which I attached. I'm assuming any sources claiming Tank 2 introduced mines are incorrect, right? According to this source, in Tank II "The playfield can be changed by grounding D9 pin 6 (on Right board). Some source(s) indicate Tank II introduced mines, but it looks like mines were in the original Tank (the first one). Is the proper name "Tank!" or "Tank", for the first Tank game in the series? It's referred to as Tank! in some places and just Tank in others. Is it correct to assume that Tank 8 is in their IP and just not listed? Tank 8 is not listed in the list of games in either catalog. In the 2016 IP Catalog, there is a Tank 8 logo on the tank page that was removed in the 2019 version. Tank 8 is mentioned in Atari's IP Catalog on the Tank page, but isn't listed in the IP. Does anyone have any pictures or additional info on Tank III?
I've looked around, and I haven't found much info on Tank III (by Kee Games, but in Atari's IP Catalog) other than a source indicating that it had a single-player mode and others indicating it was the first game to be a third in the series. Questions and info related to the Tank series of games by Kee Games/Atari (dates of release listed here) :
