Battlezone

From it's funky smelling periscope viewer to it's custom tank controls, battlezone provided an authentic martian wireframe infinite salt flat window shattering tank and grounded ufo combat simulation.  The pacing of this game really provided an exciting experience as enemy tanks slowly turned their cannons to bear and as the ufo raced across the ground to grab your next quarter.

    A decade before vector graphics, there were electric motors, neon painted mattes and models, mirrors and light bulbs...

    "Flotilla"! I saw this for the first time a couple days ago in a penny arcade in Colorado. It reminded me a lot of "Battlezone". While very clever, it was a reminder that we've come a long way, baby.
