This series wasn't quite popular, with the exception of Battle City, even then, it was most popular in places where it wasn't officially released. Namco has also released Shingun~Destroy! Girl's Tank Battalion in 2014, which is sometimes considered to be part of this series, though aside from its title and having tanks in it, the game has little to do with any of the aformentioned games. Tank Force further improved the game by adding boss levels, more powerups, more enemies and increasing the pace of levels even more.

Battle City improved it with much smoother movement, different types of enemy tanks, more varied scenery, different powerups and most importantly two-player co-op mode. The first game, Tank Battalion, featured simple graphics, clunky movement and only one type of obstacle. Game Over is not only if player runs out of lives, but also if the enemies (or the players, either by accident or on purpose) manage to shoot the base down. The enemy tanks start appearing from the edges of the screen and moving semi-randomly towards the bottom, and they all have to be defeated to win the round. In these games, the player spawns right next to their base, presented as a bird covered in brick walls.
