Trivia

Tank was released by Kee Games and became so popular that distributors no longer demanded exclusivity, and Atari and Kee were free to publicly become the single entity that they always had been. Atari created Kee in order to form its own competition and to get around the exclusivity demanded by distributors at the time a legacy of Pinball.
