What means
It was a ready-made screen graphic on the Sharp MZ-700.
In 1983, a British magazine listed MZ-700 tank sprites among the computer’s built-in game-picture shapes. This one came from the European alternate display set. It was not directly typeable; a BASIC program used POKE—a command that writes to memory—to show it.
