Classic Game Room HD - ROBOT TANK for Atari 2600 review

Classic Game Room was the FIRST classic video game review show on the Internet in 1999. Returning in 2008 with new episodes, Classic Game Room breaks out a review of ROBOT TANK for the Atari 2600 VCS video computer system. What's not to like about Robot Tank, it's a tank and a robot... in one! Like a spork in tank form. Robot Tank was released in 1983 and is very similar to another first person shooter style game on the Atari 2600, BATTLEZONE. CGRHD reviewed Battlezone a while back and has always enjoyed both games. There are some major differences between Robot Tank and Battlezone that you can spot easily when playing the games, and the gameplay footage should point this out as well. In Robot Tank your tank can take damage, in Battlezone there are other kinds of enemies and it feels more like a real 3D environment. Robot Tank is from Activision and features a 24 hour a day clock and changing variable weather. Enjoy watching the sun set while relaxing in your Robot Tank on the battlefield. Robot Tank is an excellent military combat game and one that you will enjoy if you dig Atari games and FPS style first person shooters like Halo, Bioshock and Resistance Fall of Man. Classic Game Room was the original classic video game review show on the Internet in 1999-2000, now on DVD. The reviews on the HD series are reviewing PS3, PS2, Genesis, NES, Atari and Xbox 360. XBLA. videos review reviews show

I was eating soup when you said robot soup. I also agree with glitchedgamer.

Robot Tank is superior! Too many cheap hits in Battlezone, and I'm a sucker for Activision sunsets and changing weather.

I love the Atari Virtual World. The sound effects in this world are also really cool. I love the Atari 2600. One of the greatest gaming consoles of all time in my opinion!!!

@endlesshorizon BTW the newer videos have 15 seconds intro.

@endlesshorizon You just wasted 10 minutes of your life watching a video that won't get you anywhere, and you only want 30 seconds back ? ROFL ROFL ROFL

[endlesshorizon]

why do your movies start with a retarded 30 second intro? is this supposed to be fun; give me back my 30 seconds of life

Have battlezone for the atari 2600 and I think that this is better just from seeing it. In Battlezone, you can barely tell that you are getting closer to the tanks unlike in Robot Tanks where it actually looks like the tanks are coming closer.

Robot Tank and Gauntlet(in 3-D ???) are the inspirations for DIABLO/DIABLO 2_D2 LOD/DIABLO 3. There might be more programs in the Entertainment world.

Note that Robot Tank is not 3-dimensional like the DIABLO TRILOGY.

Note also that Robot Tank has the Day/Night video feature like D1,D2+D3.

What music is that?

I heard that in Mega Man X Command Mission..
