M1 Tank Platoon
DOSVehicle simulation
M1 Tank Platoon is a military vehicle simulation developed by MPS Labs and published by MicroProse for DOS in 1989. It places the player in command of an M1 Abrams tank during fictionalized modern combat operations. The game combines first-person gunnery and driving with tactical command, requiring players to identify targets, manage ammunition, coordinate with friendly units, and survive changing battlefield conditions. Its play style is more demanding than an arcade tank game, with several crew stations and a strategic mission structure. Contemporary players often praised its depth, detailed cockpit views, and serious presentation, while its complexity and dated graphics made it less immediately accessible. It remains an important early example of a full-featured armored-vehicle simulation on home computers.
How is this list kept current?
How rankings are calculated
The list is generated from active EmuGamers catalog entries. Votes and play activity determine order; browser compatibility is reported separately and does not turn an untested game into a higher-ranked recommendation.
| Order | Signal | How it is used |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Real community votes | Games with at least one recorded vote appear before games with no votes. |
| 2 | Rating confidence | More votes rank first, followed by the rating value. |
| 3 | Play activity | Play count breaks rating ties and orders entries with no votes. |
| 4 | Stable tie-break | Game name keeps otherwise equal results deterministic. |
