This is a version of the arcade game Battlezone featuring vector graphic tank warfare on a magnificently destructive scale. The game places you on an asteroid where you have to wipe out the enemy tanks that are occupying it.

Your view is in the direction of your tank's gun and a head-up radar display shows you the enemy and missiles in the middle of the screen. The only other structures are blocks and pyramids while in the air is a flying saucer. This saucer has a rotating red square beneath it and if you put your tank on it, it will replenish its shield.

The shield is damaged by enemy shell, and missile fire and if they get close many shots can be quickly made. You also have shells and missiles, the difference between the two being that you can guide missiles to their target. You can even take a missile's eye view as it races into the distance.

Tanks and blocks explode into pieces which then bounce about the asteroid before disappearing. In the background there is volcanic activity across a mountain range but as with most things in the game the option screen will allow you to alter it.
