The game was developed by Stainless Games and published by Atari Inc. On Apan updated port of Battlezone was released on Xbox Live Arcade. Additional Releasesīattlezone has been ported to many other systems including DOS, the Apple II, Atari ST, the Commodore 64, the Sinclair ZX Spectrum, and the Atari XEGS. This allowed greater freedom for players who could not reach the “periscope” and also allowed a better view for spectators. Modifications were made so that the player’s view was larger by removing the “periscope”. Later on in the arcade’s lifespan, additional cabinets were created. One joystick was used to fire the weapon.
Each joystick could only move in the Y axis, controlling the treads on the player’s tank. The controls consisted of a left and right joystick. The game could still be watched from the sides. Cabinet Designīattlezone was housed in a standard upright arcade cabinet with a novel "periscope" viewfinder which the player used to view the game. The game only includes one hostile enemy on the game board at all times the player never has to battle two enemy tanks at once, or a tank and guided missile. If the player reaches 15,000 points, a bonus tank is awarded. Each of the targets could be destroyed with a single shot. Occasionally, guided missiles were seen, and if destroyed, counted as 2,000 points. The game uses a score-based system, giving values to each enemy. Solid geometric objects can be used as cover. The player commands a tank and tries to destroy enemy tanks, supertanks, and UFOs. The game is set on a horizontal plain with mountainous horizons, a volcano, and other solid geometric shapes. Battlezone is widely considered the first virtual reality arcade game. The game achieved an interesting look by utilizing both first person 3D vector graphics and "viewing goggle" that the player used to view the screen. Battlezone is an arcade game which was released by Atari in 1980.
