"Assault" was originally released by Namco in Japan in April 1988, later licensed to Atari Games for release in North America. The soundtrack was composed by Shinji Hosoe, while designs for the player's tank and enemies were designed by "Gundam" artist Kunio Okawara. "Assault" was one of the first games to use the Namco System 2 arcade board, which was capable of sprite rotation and scaling.
