Is this the reason we don't see the standard shockwave servers. Did they always have the online play?
Can someone try this link? Does it let you demo the game with all demo players? The progress bar don't move for me. I can't do it because of active x errors.

I tried the link, and progress bar wouldn't move for me, either. I have a Shockwave subscripton, and I couldn't get it to work that way either. I used to play TT through SW, before I aquired a GG version, and I don't remember there being a "play online" feature on the SW site.

Same.....

Three years ago when I first heard of the game, I played this online at shockwave.com. All it is is a ad supported demo where you shoot the normal set of bots as a Medium tank on Medulla Mesa. It's only Indi BM and no multiplayer.

All it does is sit there and moan about some active x control which doesn't work whatever you do to it. The SW servers own that crappy demo.

Hm..... Looking at shockwave.com , I see it has a very different look than I remember it having before. Perhaps it switched ownership, and the new owner just decided to not do anything with ThinkTanks any more. I didn't hear anything about this though, so I wouldn't know. They probably just changed their look of things. I kind of like it without shockwave servers anyway. ;)

Ah yes, the Online Demo from shockwave..

It was Medulla Mesa BM and you were stuck in a medium tank..

Memories, I tried that one when it first came out and then left after about ten minutes because it was just lame. It then took me another two years to try the demo. Terrible way to advertise a game.

Ya CB
It appears that Shockwave wants you to open an unsafe activeX control
fyi after a few months of my grands playing shockwave games I hadda clean out
numerous trojans and spyware off their comp
Shockwave is to invasive for my tastes
