Tank Racer is a 1999 racing game developed by Glass Ghost and published by Grolier Interactive.
There are four different play modes to choose from: Cup Mode, Single Race Mode, Multi-player Battle Mode, and Multi-player Racing Mode.
In Cup Mode the player's aim is to win all three "cups" in the World Tank Racing Championship (WTRC). Each cup has its own four tanks for the player to choose from, and one secret tank that is unlocked upon completion of the cup (making a total of 15 playable tanks in the game). There are 8 different tracks, although some of them are reused meaning there are a total of 15 races.
Upon completion of each cup, "bonuses" are unlocked. These include three tanks, a music player (which lets the player choose any of the songs from the soundtrack to listen to), the ability to re-watch the 'outro' videos for each cup, special game settings (which includes 'overhead view', 'dual control', a 'hover tank', the option to change the sound effects to 'human voices' and 'guitar squeal') and three 'secret' mini arcade games (a one or two-player Pong clone with tanks called "Ping"; a one-player top-down view maze tank game called "Tank 2001", the name of which might allude to the Arcadia 2001 game console; and a one-player Asteroids clone, called "Space Tank", again with a tank).
Tank Racer is abandonware and no longer sold or supported by its publishers. Files are archived here for these platforms:
