Title
Battlezone had amazing graphics and a thoughtfully-engineered radar system that is very beneficial, but the game unfairly boils down to the "KILL OR BE KILLED" mentality from Atari's Combat and mindlessly endulges in tiresome chases. Worth one quarter.

If you feel cheapened by this game, try Encounter! or Robot Tank.

Title
Wow i didnt know about this one, but its so massively advanced for the time. It has a first person perspective, and you control a tank that must defend himself with missiles from attackers. The explosions of enemy vehicles are very impressive actually. Its stiff to control thourgh, but then again you are playing as a tank. Good game.

Title
A thoroughly frustrating experience. As a ten year old I was an absolute sucker for the cabinet - actually looking through a periscope (or whatever it is that tanks use to see) with controls attached the the side. It was like I was really driving a tank! But the game was too hard for me. I could see, even at that age, that it was actually a very good game. But I stank like a sulphur skunk.

    This is incredible, how did a 2.5D game this advanced come out on the same home console as Pac-Man and Frogger?
