Strategy X is an early tank shooter by Konami that looks like an inspiration for others such as TNK III and Vindicators. As you go, you'll see fuel tanks... but you better not shoot them. No, you will instead park on them to refill the fuel gauge. Taking all the available fuel from one gives you bonus points. Your tank has a rotating turret similar to TNK III or Ikari. Watch out for the mines and TNT magazines. Sometimes shooting TNT can help with nearby turrets or other enemies. Other TNTs are best left alone, because they're close to the fuel depots.
Stage 1: Turret Zone - Just a bunch of turrets. There are TNT mags that can take out nearby objects... including you if you're not careful.
Stage 2: Jeep Zone - In the first loop the turrets will be inactive. You will need to look out for Jeeps that try to ram into you. The Jeeps can crash into obstacles as well.
Stage 3: Tank Zone - Other tanks will be hunting for you. Turrets will be inactive in loop 1.
Stage 4: Perimeter - You're getting closer to the base. Not only the turrets, but also moving walls stand in your way.
Stage 5: Base Area - Here's the Emmortalian's base. Go forward through the maze chipping through walls and blasting turrets until you find it. After the kill shot, keep enough distance to avoid being caught in the explosion. Next you get to do it again from stage 1 at a higher difficulty. "WE CONGRATULATE YOU ON YOUR SUCCESS. GOOD LUCK NEXT TIME AGAIN"
