Tank-O-Box is a remake of Battle City, featuring 3D graphics and 3D sound. The protagonist is a soldier navigating a tank, entrusted with the protection of his army headquarters. He is armed with 75-mm cannon, and has a chance to upgrade it to a rocket launcher. It is also important to crush all enemy radars - they play a leading role in enemy tactics. The game is set in the swamps of Scotland and in Siberian snowy taiga. A co-operative two-player mode and an Extra Violent mode are available.
As a kid, nothing beat driving toy cars over everything and making saliva-fuelled engine noises. Tank-O-Box, takes a strong inspiration from the imagination-powered Hot Wheels of yesteryear without the spit, revving up miniature military vehicles in a cute 3D sandbox.
We're not talking about a free-roaming sandbox game, but literally a small box filled with sand for kids to play in. All the action takes place in the kind of miniature, tabletop battleground diorama that granddads used to lovingly build for their grandkids to give them somewhere to drive their toy tanks other than the arms of their plastic-covered sofas. Indeed, it's this charm coupled with decently satisfying action that makes Tank-O-Box an entertaining play.
Like all good epic battles, the odds are stacked against the cunning underdog: you. A single tank is parachuted into the box to take on a host of enemy vehicles trundling across 55 levels. The objectives vary from defending your small headquarters building to taking out every last enemy vehicle.
Controls are handled by a virtual directional pad and fire button. Your tank only moves at right angles, which does leave you hunting around for the button a little too much while trying to make minute adjustments so you can land the missiles accurately and avoid incoming fire.
There are eight different types of enemy vehicle to defeat. Strength, accuracy and manoeuvrability vary among these enemies, so you can find yourself winding a balletic dance of armoured war machines around different terrains and obstacles.
You quickly learn the importance of using the miniaturised topography to your advantage. Battles become something of an explosive chess game as you try to avoid going toe-to-toe with more powerful tanks, calculating ways to outflank them instead.
Although it might clutter the screen with extra controls, it would be nice to add a bit more visibility to Tank-O-Box by allowing you to rotate the sandbox, and possibly even zoom in and out, as the vehicles are quite small on the display. As it currently stands, you do find yourself squinting at the screen too much.
Yet even from a distance, the dioramas look nice with lots of destructible scenery and a clear difference between the attacking tanks and armoured cars. In many respects, the levels take on something of a puzzle game as you try to fathom how to use the terrain to get to the enemy (or, for that matter, to stop the enemy from getting to you).
It's not massively deep gameplay, but it delivers on its promises and provides some amusing, and often exciting miniaturised action. If tank battles and toy cars are something you like to play with (and your grandparents don't want you scratching up the sideboard with your toy soldiers) Tank-O-Box ought to be very appealing.

TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) is of central importance for the induction of type-I interferon (IFN) in response to pathogens. We identified the DEAD-box helicase DDX3X as an interaction partner of TBK1. TBK1 and DDX3X acted synergistically in their ability to stimulate the IFN promoter, whereas RNAi-mediated reduction of DDX3X expression led to an impairment of IFN production. Chromatin immunoprecipitation indicated that DDX3X is recruited to the IFN promoter upon infection with Listeria monocytogenes, suggesting a transcriptional mechanism of action. DDX3X was found to be a TBK1 substrate in vitro and in vivo. Phosphorylation-deficient mutants of DDX3X failed to synergize with TBK1 in their ability to stimulate the IFN promoter. Overall, our data imply that DDX3X is a critical effector of TBK1 that is necessary for type I IFN induction.
You work hard, therefore you should also play hard. This game is right for you if you are under a lot of stress: in this game, you get to destroy your enemies with your own tank, protect your base and get the highest score possible. All this excitement will help you feel better about your busy day!
You are offered to complete a level (in a boxed environment). You get to control your tank and destroy your enemy's units. Those units include the same type of tank you have and a better version, radars, and rocket launchers. The first levels are somewhat easy, but the further you go, the smarter your enemy and trickier the levels become. Besides killing you, the enemy can also destroy your base, which will bring you to the game over screen. While you are killing tanks, you can catch upgrades for your tank, like better missiles or some other advantages over your enemy.
The only downfall of this game is that it is best played with a joystick. Unless you got one attached to your computer, playing the game on the keyboard and with the mouse can be somewhat disappointing.

Being a veteran teacher of 2+ decades, I firmly believe in supporting children in finding their path in life. What a wonderful family business! I bought the Shark Tank package, plus the book & bookbag. The canvas bag is the best I've ever seen!!! The BLUEBERRY honey was out of this world and we enjoyed the lemonade as well!
So thrilled with my Reunion Box. Great product and than the added stickers and coupon were an added bonus. Have been following the positive results since the beginning of the appearance on Shark Tank!!
The aim was also to create packaging that reduces greenhouse emissions and is easier to transport and serve than traditional glass bottles. Equalling four traditional 750ml bottles, the 3-liter bag-in-box is the most carbon-efficient wine package available and produces the least waste. It has a 55% lower carbon footprint in terms of energy needed for glass production and transportation and produces 85% less landfill waste. The plastic, which is 100% free of BPA or BPS residues, and the paperboard are easily recycled. Its lighter weight (only 7lbs [3.2 kg] for 3 liters of wine compared to the 10+ pounds brutto weight of four standard 0.75 glass bottles) also means reduced fossil fuel emissions further down the logistic chain.
Making of: The grapes are de-stemmed, crushed and the fruit undergoes fifteen days of maceration to extract enough body and flavors from the skins. Fermented with neutral yeast in concrete tanks where the wine is then stored. Bagged and boxed on-demand to ensure maximum freshness, with light filtration and no fining.
Personality: solar and Mediterranean! Garnet in the glass with shimmering highlights. Elegant notes of smoky red fruit, violet, sweet herb, and a note of baking chocolate. The palate is rich with ripe cherry and berry flavors, and a mineral note that is followed by supple acidity and velvety tannins. Expressive red with a great concentration of fruit, finishing with floral notes and a dash of black pepper.
Making of: The grapes are direct-pressed, cold-stabilized and then fermented with neutral yeast in concrete and stainless steel tanks (alcoholic fermentation only, no MLF in order to keep freshness and acidity). The wine is then stored in the same tanks on fine lees with regular battonages. Bagged and boxed on-demand to ensure maximum freshness, after fining and light filtration.
Personality: refreshing everyday white. Pale yellow in the glass with a tart, fruity nose and dynamic mineral scents. The palate opens with crisp citrus and peach flavors that are boosted by vibrant acidity and heady minerality.
