Did that for years. Lots of fun for sure.
We used to do something similar back in the 80s when we were playing Exerion in the arcades. One would take control of the spaceship while the other would take control of the guns by choosing to shoot the fast but limited ammo/gun or the slower but unlimited gun/ammo at the enemy craft/aliens.
So with one coin we would both play the game.
Still pissed off there was never an Atari ST version.

Man, where did you find this? I miss the days I had red hair, or was black.

Good find.

I started playing this game back in my young and single days, 1995, with the original Steel Panthers. The game has been around so long that I now have my 17 year old son playing it, and my wife complains that there are now 2 computers making all kinds of war noises

So I have added one person to the ranks of those playing

Let's see. I was born in Southern Rhodesia, Grew up in South Africa, have visited Mozambique, Argentina, Uruguay and Canada. Now I live in the US. All those countries have OOBs in WinSPMBT. Thank you.

I bought the original game in 1995. Before that I played a game on my old Apple somewhat like this... I think it was called Tanks (but at my age, the memory isn't clear). Loved SPMBT from the start and it's been a constant presence in my free time (as little as that is and much the annoyance of my wife when I spend my days off and leave sitting at the computer instead of doing her tasking lists).

I'm short and retire in 20 months (not that I'm counting) and I plan on spending more of my time in the game (that should make the wife decidedly pleased!).

This is my link to sanity (as much as I still possess) and I'm going to hold onto it by my fingernails.

Cudos to the admin people who have kept this game alive.

USA/Pennsylvania here.

Tom
