Very simple gameplay, but an important stepping stone in the FPS genre, tank mechanics, and 3D vector graphics.
Great tank simulator, realistic for 1980s.
Was able to play this in an actual arcade where you actually put your face in front of the screen to give a primitive VR feel and have neat features like a radar. It was a very cool experience, and for sure something I'm playing again if I return to the arcade it was at. But was it that great? Not really. It's an unsurprisingly simple game, but fun enough for the time I played it. Highly recommend it if you see it in an arcade, but otherwise probably not worth playing.
Back in 1980, I can definitely see how this was a huge advancement for video game graphics, but nowadays… eh, it's ok for what it is. You just move around, shooting tanks, aliens, and what have you, and while it is fun for a couple minutes or so, it doesn't do much else to warrant a replay.

Parte 2 — Los 80: Caída y Resurgir
Juego 12: Battlezone (1980)
Demasiado tosco. El delay es matador, nunca mejor dicho.

If I saw this in the arcades as a teenager in in 1980, It would BLOW MY FUCKING MIND.
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.
juego platinado en retroachievements.
This was the game I headed to the arcade for!! Love this game and play it everytime I can at Portland Retrogaming.

I've always sucked at Battlezone. Though I'd like to mention that this game is worth checking out should you ever come across one of the IRL cabinets with the full periscope controller setup. An important landpost in the history of video games.

Intense gameplay, fresh graphics. LOUD soundscape and genuinely riveting
Reviewing the Atari 2600 version.
This is honestly pretty impressive and insane for the Atari 2600. possibly the most graphically impressive game on it? Game play is actually serviceable, and it can be somewhat engaging.
If you like Atari games, this one is a must try.

I absolutely did not play this game in arcades, but instead on my computer when I was like 12-13, and it was extremely cool back then. The wireframe graphics give this game a really cool simulator feel that I believe could make for a great aesthetic with a modern take on it, the game is very simple and short (my biggest complaint) but has super addictive and arcade-y gameplay. It's very possible this game doesn't deserve this score but I played this game for plenty of hours, so I'm gonna give it the 7/10.
A game that's essentially a really impressive tech demo, both for arcade hardware of the time, as well as the Atari 2600, which it was eventually ported to. Even so, it's a fun little diversion, though not exactly accurate.
