Battlezone tank arcade game

The world is created through vector graphics, a system that draws lines to create shapes without filling them in with colors, meaning every object can be seen through be they barrier or enemy.

The player views all of this through the first-person perspective, a then novel way of portraying a shooting game made only more immersive if you find a cabinet with the periscope attachment that limits your field of view to the play area alone.

You can also see a few helpful bits of information on your screen like a radar, your score, and amount of remaining lives, but Atari tried their best to make something immersive with the technology of the time while still not hiding vital info from the player. Controlling the tank is done by way of two joysticks, each one controlling a tread on the tank. Moving them in tandem moves you forward or back appropriately, but moving only the left or right joystick will allow the tank to turn.

This fairly faithful form of tank control feels like the main obstacle in Battlezone. An enemy tank will appear when the game begins, the player needing to use the radar and its associated messages on enemy locations to find where they are and open fire with the attack button.
