Garry Kitchen's Super Battletank: War in the Gulf is a tank simulation game for the Sega Mega Drive and Sega Game Gear. The Game Gear version is simply known as Super Battletank. Whilst originally developed in 1994, the Game Gear version never saw a release until Majesco Sales published it in 2001, making it by far the last game to be released in any region for the Game Gear.
