Hello, and welcome to a fast PD version of Battlezone. Yes, it's time to get into your tank, speed around a vector graphics landscape and fire at other (yes, you've guessed it) vector graphic tanks.

There's not much more to it than that. There's no goal as such - just destroy everything that moves. And if you can't see it on screen, take a look at your radar and chase the little white dots until you find something. You'll have to learn to be accurate with your firing, though, or you'll end up loasing one of your three valuable lives. And we can't have that, can we?

I actually quite like this, even though there's not that much to it. Some sort of point to the game, or even a target number of tanks to destroy, would add another element of excitement to the proceedings.

The Bottom Line

There's very little to it, and no task to achieve as such. But if you fancy a nostalgic blast every now and then, this is more than up to the job.
