To mark the conclusion of The Tank Museum’s latest Heritage Lottery and PRISM Fund sponsored conservation project, The Tank Museum hosted a special event exploding the myths and exploring the reality behind the most famous tank in the world – Tiger 131.

The highlight of the day was at 1.30pm, when Tiger 131 made its return to the arena. The 30 minute display examined and compared this World War Two beast to its Axis and Allied contemporaries; including Matilda II, Panzer III, T-34 and Sherman. The display also examined the impact Tiger had on future tank design, with Centurion and Leopard.

Conquest Of The World by Douglas Edric Stanley

Game documentation for Magnavox Odyssey² game “Conquest of the World”

Transcript:

“Cruise Missile ->

Your submarine is armed with cruise missiles. Press the action button to fire. Keep the action button depressed while you control the flight of the missile with the joystick. The missile automatically starts upward and will travel in the direction the joystick is moved.

_A missile will explode_ —

• on contact with the target.

• on contact with a tree.

• at the end of its range.

• when the action button is released.

_When a missile is fired_, a sub will consume energy units at a greatly accelerated rate for the duration of its flight. _Note:_ if subs crash into each other, they will explode. Both sides will display a white flag.

A VICTORY won by either player will be celebrated by a fireworks display at that player's flag. The losing side will display a white flag.

Press the SPACE bar to halt the fireworks. The computer is now ready to accept a new program entry by each player.

Mountain ->

Jet Plane ->

_Flight training._

Left-hand control:

• Press R for RED.

• Press P for PLANE.

• Press 2500 energy units.

Right-hand control:

• Press B for BLUE.

• Press P for PLANE.

• Press 2500 energy units.

• Press ENTER.

Your jet is highly maneuverable and will respond very realistically in the direction of the hand control joystick.

For sharp turns, do not move the joystick more than one angle at a time.

For slower turns, move the joystick more than one angle and the automatic pilot will take over. Your jet will flash and move at half speed during this maneuver.

p.10

Press the action button to fire your jet‘s armor piercing weapon.

Your jet will fly over land and water but will crash into trees, mountains and go down in flame if hit by enemy fire or if it runs out of energy units.

Plane flying off screen… …will return from opposite side ->

Your jet is capable of sneak attacks and brilliant evasive action. If you fly off any edge of the screen, you will return from the opposite side.

You can use the joystick to control offscreen flight and re-enter the screen in a new position. Offscreen planes will go out of control if the joystick is placed in neutral. Precision re-entry comes with experience.

_Note:_ Planes use up energy units faster than any other weapon.

Tank ->

Tree ->

Water ->

Land ->

_Tank maneuvers._

Left-hand control:

• Press R for RED.

• Press T for TANK.

• Press 2500 energy units

Right-hand control:

• Press B for BLUE.

• Press T for TANK.

• Press 2500 energy units

• Press ENTER.

Tanks will travel in the direction indicated by the joystick.

Tanks roll at full speed over open terrain and at half speed through the wooded areas indicated by trees. Tanks will not move through water.

Mine ->

A tank running into a land mine (X) will burst into fame and be destroyed.

Press the action button to fire your tank’s armor piercing cannon. A tank can fire through a tree if it is close enough. If the tank is too far away, the shell will explode when it hits a tree.

_Weapons can be programmed into the computer in any combination. Practice using tanks vs. planes, subs vs. tanks, and planes vs. subs._”

Exploding Lights by David Cartier, Sr.

A gorgeous , really rapid fire Aurora a couple nights back.

Early in the evening the lights were pretty impressive ... Tired of the boring foreground around my cabin here, I drove down to the partly ice free Yukon River near the Marsh Lake bridge ... but , of course, at that time the lights became quiet .... Later, the lights really went wild, but by this time, I had no more gas ..
