Battlezone(TM) (1 OR 2 PLAYERS)
The original ATARI 2600 version of this 1980 arcade classic! The whole world is in trouble. From
your combat tank, you must find and destroy the enemy tanks, aerial fighters, and flying saucers before
they find you. Get ready for the futuristic fight to the finish.
You’re Combat Ready!
The year is 1999, and the nations of the earth have declared a world-wide peace plan. But there is a
problem with the proposed truce. A council of military commanders has unleashed battalions of automated
weapons into the countryside. These aerial fighters, flying saucers, tanks, and super tanks will turn the
world into a lifeless landscape unless you can stop them.
Luckily, you've discovered an old military tank hidden inside the museum. Use your Joystick to steer
the tank as you search for enemy automatons. Since your electronic periscope only gives you a front view
from the tank, you'll have to rely heavily on your radar screen to detect the enemy. If you see a blip on the
radar, you need to move fast! Use your Joystick to turn your tank until the enemy appears on the screen;
press the red controller button to fire your turret gun.
Controls/Game Play
You have five tanks to complete your mission. Your tank will be destroyed each time it is hit by
enemy fire.
Use your Joystick to maneuver your tank. Push forward on your Joystick to move your tank forward;
pull back on the Joystick to move your tank backward. To rotate your tank in position, push the Joystick
directly right or left. Move the tank in an arc by pushing your Joystick diagonally in the desired direction.
Fire your turret gun by pressing the red button on your controller. If you miss a target, you cannot fire
again for approximately 2 seconds.
The enemies you'll encounter are:
Tanks
Tanks are your most common enemy. They move a bit slower than your tank, and can be identified by
their blue turrets.
Super Tanks
These look like regular tanks, but have yellow turrets and can move faster than your tank.
Fighters
Fighters always appear directly in front of you then zigzag toward your tank. When a fighter reaches
point-blank range, it will veer to the side and fire an anti-tank shell directly at you. You can identify a
fighter by the "buzz" sound it makes as it flies.
Flying Saucers
