ABOUT BATTLEZONE
Battlezone was released by Atari in November 1980. Designed by a team led by Ed Rotberg, the game put players inside a tank and used groundbreaking 3D vector graphics to create a wireframe battlefield filled with enemy tanks, missiles, obstacles, mountains, and even a volcano.
One of Battlezone's most distinctive features was its periscope-style viewer. Players looked directly into the viewer while operating a pair of tank-style control sticks, creating an unusually immersive first-person experience for an arcade game of its era. Later versions of the cabinet eliminated the periscope to make the screen easier to view.
ARCADE TRIVIA: Battlezone was impressive enough that the U.S. Army approached Atari about adapting the technology for military training. Atari subsequently developed a modified version commonly known as the Bradley Trainer, intended to train gunners for the Bradley Fighting Vehicle.
