Battlezone 1980

Is it still worth playing?

You control a tank that is attacked by other tanks and missiles, and use a small radar scanner and the terrain window to locate enemies and obstacles in a barren landscape. It is a 1980 first person arcade tank combat game. It uses wireframe vector graphics on a black and white monitor, with a colored overlay that tints the action green and the score and radar red. The tank is driven with two joysticks, one for each tread, so moving both the same way goes forward or in reverse and moving them in opposite directions turns on the spot. The right stick has a fire button on top. The flat plane has a mountainous horizon with an erupting volcano and a crescent moon, and pyramids and blocks in vector outline. Steering a tank with two sticks is still a distinct way to play today.
