Sherman M4 is a 1989 DOS tank combat game centered on the famous American M4 Sherman tank. Players take control of the armored vehicle and face battlefield situations where positioning, timing, and firepower are crucial. The game provides a more direct experience than large-scale strategy titles, putting the player inside the action and asking them to deal with enemy armor and battlefield obstacles. Its focus on the Sherman gives it a clear historical flavor, although the mechanics remain accessible enough for players who simply enjoy driving tanks around and making loud noises. There is a certain honesty to the premise: you have a tank, the enemy has tanks, and someone is going to have a very bad afternoon. Sherman M4 captures the appeal of classic computer tank games, where tactical awareness mattered and the strongest argument in any disagreement was usually a large piece of armor.
Zero Magazine Issue 7 (1990) - "At the end of the day, I reckon Sherman M4 could do with a little bit 'more' put into it. Just fixing the cannon elevation quirk would have made a lot of difference - I don't know about you, but I love trying to suss out angles and stuff while under pressure. (Weirdo. Ed.) So as Loriciels says, we have a cross between a shoot 'em-up and a simulation. It almost worked - it's just a tiny little bit off centre."
