Battlezone (Arcade)

Preface

Welcome, fellow gamer, to the thrilling world of Battlezone. Step into the realm of futuristic warfare, where you'll find yourself immersed in the heart-pounding action of combat unlike anything you've experienced before. Released in 1980 by Atari, Battlezone revolutionized the arcade gaming scene with its cutting-edge vector graphics and innovative gameplay. Set in the midst of a virtual, vector-graphic battlefield, players assume the role of a tank commander tasked with navigating treacherous terrain and engaging in intense skirmishes against enemy forces.

Recently, I discovered this game out of Wikipedia's list of Video Games Considered the Best. I was so fascinated by how many classic games were being forgotten over time, so I decided to set my goal for this website is to make achievements for obscure, forgotten retro games. I chose Battlezone as my first game because it's the oldest game on the wiki's list to not have an achievement set.

So let's have fun!
