battle zone




Atari made a game called "Battle Zone" in 1980. Battle zone used vector graphics,witch means that it used a wire frame.This is the scoring system: tanks are worth 1,000 when destroyed, a super tank is 3,000, a flying saucer is 5,000;a guided missile is 2,000, and a bones tank is a 1up. There is a cube like object witch is good for a shield.

Now here are some ports of the game. Battle zone was ported in the 80's to home computers like the apple2, Atari st and commodore 64. There was also sinclari sipnoff to for the zx spectrum and Atari XEGS. There was also ports on the Atari 2600 but has a color raster graphics due to limitation and the view be hind the tank and then inside. It was also on game boy with the game breakout (ha ha) two games in one. It was going to be on Atari7800 but then the boss of Atari changed it. In 2008 i think there was a vison of the game. Then Battle zone re-released on Microsoft game room download wich was also on xbox 360 and widows base PCs. There was a 3d remake from 1996 wich changed the gamefrom a arcade game to a strategy game.There was battle zone 2 combat commarder.There are some pics up there.Remember GAME SMART FIND YOUR GAME.
