July 1998 keeps moving, and today the headline is simple: Tanarus Beta on MS Zone. Following the recent announcement that Tanarus, a futuristic multiplayer combat tank game, was coming to the Internet Gaming Zone, Microsoft announced that Tanarus is available now as a free public beta for a limited time.

In the Tanarus open beta, gamers will have access to all arenas and tanks for a real taste of combat. Tanarus is a multiplayer game created by 989 Studios that let’s gamers engage in down-and-dirty tank warfare over futuristic, 3D battlefields. Gamers can configure and personalize their tanks to suit their own game play style — for gutsy no-holds-barred firepower or for sneaky recon and back-stabbing. For PC players watching every demo, patch, driver and announcement right now, this is one more thing to keep on the board.
