Arcticfox

Arcticfox is a sci-fi tank simulation set in 2005 where aliens invade Antarctica to steal Earth's oxygen. You pilot the "Arcticfox" super tank on a solo mission to destroy the alien fortress. From a first-person 3D vector view, your tank has a cannon, guided missiles with an onboard camera view, and mines. Radar, compass, speedometer, oxygen meter, and forward/aft view-screens display vital data. Enemies include Recon Sleds, Light/Heavy Tanks, fighters, Recon Fliers, floating mines, and installations like Radar Stations and Oxygen Converters. As damage accumulates, systems like radar or cannon may fail. Weather includes blizzards and electric storms reducing visibility. Four difficulty levels are available.

A user review praised the "strategic control... not unlike MechWarrior" but criticised the lack of a mapping system, making navigation confusing .
