Hey guys, hopefully one of you will remember the name of this game... It is a top view game, in which you drive a tank. If you drive over a certain thing, you fly way up into the sky and can fire on all of the enemies and see the whole map, until you fall back to the ground again. I'll looking at screenshots for almost every game made, but still haven't seen it yet.

Well, I'm almost positive the game was by Atari, if that helps...

Found it... It's called "Assault". It is a Namco game licensed to Atari. Good call, Aghama.

Yeah, that was one of the (very) few games that I ever shoved quarters into...
