Game Description:
Originally released in 1980, Battlezone was a unique action/combat game, combining high resolution wire frame graphics with a 3D perspective. In fact, did you know that Battlezone holds a place in gaming history as being the first arcade game to do 3D? That's right, 3D tank combat at its finest, years before the game Stellar 7 would revive the concept on home computers.
The first thing most people say after seeing the Battlezone on the 2600 is "This doesn't look like Battlezone!". Yes it's true, due to the limitations of the 2600, Atari had to drop the wire frame graphics and resort to standard raster graphics instead. The next thing most people notice is that the game is no longer viewed through the targeting scope of the tank. It's unknown why Atari changed this, but it was probably due to memory constraints. It wouldn't be until the release of Activision's Robot Tank (a similarly themed tank game) that the 3D targeting scope would finally make an appearance.
