Battlezone is a tank combat game that first made its debut in the arcades, sporting a unique periscope viewfinder for players to simulate looking through a tank. The game has you take control of a tank, traversing a 3D landscape set up through wireframe vector graphics. You can find various things to destroy for points, including other tanks, super tanks, and even UFOs. Battlezone was one of the first popular 3D games, and paved the way for other games simulating a 3D environment throughout the 80s. Thanks to its success, the game was ported to a variety of consoles over its lifespan.
