The Video Game Critic
This amazing first-person tank game looks and plays flawlessly. In fact, this Atari 2600 edition is arguably more playable than its 3D arcade cousin!

Digital Press - Classic Video Games
Frustrating as it may be, "Battlezone" is still a blast today even after the likes of "Battletank" on the 16-bit consoles. The simplicity gives the proceedings a sense of urgency, knowing death is always just a radar blip away. Yes, the arcade version is a better game, but you can find this one on E-Bay for a dollar. I'm sure that decision is an easy one.

The Good Old Days
Battlezone is truly impressive and unconventional for its time, it's the forefather of almost every single game released these days (How many other genres apart from 3D shooters are there left?), and it's more than adaequate gameplay-wise. What more can you ask for?

Battlezone is for some reason a popular title among Atari 2600 fans, likely because they can't admit they've only played it for a few seconds. There is no reason to own this game. I got it in a lot, played it a few minutes, tried four more times to give it a fair shot and threw it away. Best do the same.
