Battlezone (Atari 1980)

[verbusen]

I could play this to a point that I got bored with it, it couldn't kill me. I was in a zone, a battlezone. I'd be killing the flying saucer that was hiding in the mountains throwing it's cruise missiles at me. Seemed the drunker I got the better I was too, lol. Awesome game. 

[glitchedgamer]

I actually prefer the Atari 2600 version.

wow, prehistoric call of duty lol...

This game kicks MW3 in the balls

I just bought one of those for $75 off of Craigslist! Needs a lot of work but it's going to be awesome once I've restored it!

It may seem lame now, but those graphics back in the day were so cool you almost couldn't believe it.

The only game I ever got the high score on!

[colorfulmaze]

It looks much better than it's successor with sprites. Look at the dynamics, how smoothly the enemies are moving! All it lacks is hidden-line removal which was introduced in Elite.

Thanks for the memories!

[Galforg]

Fucking great real time graphics.

[ThrilloVanHouten]

Just ain't the same without the flicker of a vector monitor...

LOL The thing at the end reminds me of the Wasp missle that the furies drop in the 1998 remake of battlezone.

[ReginaldsTest]

This is the oldest FPS I know of. Were there any before?

[lewisner]

Space Invaders and Breakout were before this.BTW when playing Battlezone I always dive in reverse - top score so far 195000.

[ReginaldsTest]

Those weren't first-person shooter though.

[llAVALANCHEll]

Maze War (1973) was released before this...

[Antillektuell]

yeah there were other fps before. look up "mazewar" i think its from the late 70s. the first fps as i know.

[AquariaSpirit]

Ya, mazewars! But it wasn't like a as shooter so that makes this the first.

[carabinier68]

Cool game, I'd love to see Red Baron too

[pksmithvt]
