(2.6)

1983

Battlezone is a first-person shooter tank combat game released for arcades in November 1980 by Atari, Inc. The player controls a tank which is attacked by other tanks and missiles, using a small radar scanner to locate enemies around them in the barren landscape. Its innovative use of 3D graphics made it a huge hit, with approximately 15,000 units sold.

I'll give this one two stars simply because it's better than some of the other Atari games I've tried, but this game is boring.
All you do is spin around in your tank and shoot other tanks. The controls aren't all that responsive (too many times my turret would spin past the enemy tank, I'd rotate back but overcompensate, and then have to turn back again). And the few minutes I played offered no challenge and no change of gameplay.
And while the graphics may have been considered innovative for their time, they do not hold up today at all!
