| Shocking Tanks is a novelty game
involving remote control toy
tanks. Each player controls a tank, moving it and firing the "gun" (in actuality an
LED) at the other tank. The novelty is that when a tank is hit, the player is shocked by the
controller.
Shocking tanks became popular in the US and UK during the
2004 holiday shopping season when they were introduced by such novelty retailers as
The Gadget Shop and Things You
Never Knew Existed catalog.
