Battlezone is an arcade game from Atari released in November 1980. It displays a wireframe view (using vector graphics rather than raster graphics) on a horizontal black and white (with green and red sectioned color overlay) vector monitor. Due to its novel gameplay and look, this game was very popular for many years. Throughout the 1980s, Battlezone was ported to several home computer systems (usually on the Atarisoft label), including the Apple II, the Commodore 64, the Sinclair ZX Spectrum, and the Atari XEGS. The Atari ST port contains large parts of the original 6502 code which is emulated in real time. An Atari 2600 port was also released, but has colored raster graphics due to limitations and the view is behind the tank rather than inside it.

⭐⭐⭐

It is a very interesting experience when you play thinking that it is a FPS game. The graphics are not its strong point, despite having very interesting effects in 3D. What is really cool is the free movement in the scenario, as well as the aim. It is not a game that I found fun playing nowadays, but it is certainly that kind of game that tests the technological capabilities of the time, and it is interesting to see that.

Very simple gameplay, but an important stepping stone in the FPS genre, tank mechanics, and 3D vector graphics.

juego platinado en retroachievements.

Great tank simulator, realistic for 1980s.

This was the game I headed to the arcade for!! Love this game and play it everytime I can at Portland Retrogaming.
