Tunnel your way upwards. Closer and closer to the enemy targets, vicious Vector nuclear bases which you must destroy at all costs. Suddenly, atomic cannon fire obscures the blackness. Dreaded "Core Ranger Tanks" have discovered your presence. But there's no turning back, because this week's game is Thunderground!

The Manual said:
As always, you really should read the manual.
What's that? You don't have the manual? Well, luckily for you, AtariAge has a typed copy of it online for your reading pleasure.
What's that? You're too lazy to click that link? Well, luckily for you, I copied the tips it has right here:

- Don't destroy enemy tanks unnecessarily. There may be far better ways to score points.
- Watch enemy tank movement carefully. Strategic placement of your core capsule can lead them away from the bases. It can also cause enemy blue tanks to strip away sections of the force field lying in front of the bases.
- Don't risk yourself in search of enemy supplies in early rounds. It is much more important to stay alive in order to score bonus points for the destruction of bases in higher rounds.

Tip:
It seems that in the later stages, you want the blue tank to remove the top row for you to expose the reactors. Once that top row is gone, its easy to pick off the reactors and dodge the tanks. I think you need to let the left tank make its way to ther right side, then it moves up and heads back to the left, clearing the way.
Tip 2:
It seems that when the enemy tank is at the top heading left to right, its shot will be lower, making it safe to stay at the very top to clear out the forcefield. On the other hand, when the enemy tank is moving right to left, it shoots higher, so the top is not safe. And of course, don't ram into the enemy tanks.
In the later stages, you cannot touch the enemy tank after you destroy it. You will die.
I wanted to see what happened when you reach the 100th board. Nothing. The board counter resets to 00 after the 99th board. By the time I reached 100 boards, the score was over 2.5 million
During the later stages, you want to avoid shooting the tanks. Instead, lure them to the bottom of the screen, to give yourself time to clear out the shield at the top and quickly blast away the reactors.

tips: lure the tanks to the bottom of the screen. Don't leave the screen without the token. try to get the blue tank to clear the top part of the screen and then shoot the reactors from the bottom of the screen.
LarcenTyler said:
When you shoot a tank, it still remains onscreen for a few moments, meaning that you can use it as a shield against shots from the other tank.
xeex said:
My advice is to dig straight tunnels from the top to the bottom. Let the white tanks follow you down (the blue ones will, anyway), then scoot up to the top and start blasting away. You always move faster than the enemy, even at the higher levels. So, the farther they have to travel, the more time you have to do some damage.
Good luck everyone!
