Operation Armored Liberty is a Game Boy Advance remake of Super Battletank, set during the invasion of Iraq. The player controls a lone M1A1 Abrams Main Battle Tank from the first-person viewpoint, with each level requiring defeat of all enemies to progress.
The gameplay revolves around defeating enemies on the map using various weapons and abilities, including the tank's main cannon and smoke screen. Levels three and onward feature boss battles against a static objective at the end of each level, allowing players to visit friendly bases to repair damage and rearm their tank.
While similar to the original SNES release of Super Battletank, Operation Armored Liberty features changes such as an updated time period, password save system, and unlimited retries after failing a level. The game also introduces new gameplay mechanics, including an unlimited fire rate for the main cannon and restricted turret movement.

Set against the backdrop of the Gulf War, OPERATION ARMORED LIBERTY is a military simulation game that casts players as commanders of the M1A1 Abrams Battle Tank. The premise revolves to liberating Iraq by advancing from the Kuwaiti border to Baghdad while facing off against Soviet-built T-72 tanks, SCUD launchers, and enemy helicopters. Players must utilize their armored vehicle's firepower to overcome these threats and achieve victory on the scorched desert battlefield.
Story
Introduction
On August 2nd, 1991, Iraq invaded its neighboring oil-producing country, Kuwait. On August 25th, 1991, a joint session of the United Nation's Security Council authorized the intervention of military force. During the twilight hours of January 16th, 1992, the liberation of Kuwait began. Almost twelve years later, in the twilight hours of March 16th, 2003, the liberation of Iraq begins.
With OPERATION ARMORED LIBERTY, you are in command of the military's top armored defense vehicle, the M1A1 Abrams Battle Tank. Defend yourself against Soviet-built T72's, mobile S.C.U.D. launchers and an array of Iraqi helicopter gun-ships as you blaze across the scorching sand of the desert and drive onto Baghdad and victory!
OPERATION ARMORED LIBERTY is dedicated to the brave men and women who fought so gallantly to maintain the diplomacy of peace in the Gulf region.
