As you blow up their Tanks.And tanks for the Battlezone:
Available for download, the remixed and original it holds.
It even features tank-on-tank Deathmatch modes.
And tank you so much
Okay, enough with the singing. In case you didn't figure it out, the remixed re-release of Battlezone is now available via Xbox Live Arcade.
Battlezone originally released as a coin-op arcade unit in 1980. Like the cut-hit Asteroids, it utilized green wireframe vector graphics against a black background, but took it a step further by using the lines to create dimensions, allowing for 3D gameplay. This made Battlezone an instant success, and one of the most famous of vector graphic games. This remix features the vector graphics we love as the outlines, but are filled with stylized next-gen details.
The remixed version also allows for multiplayer battles, with up to four tanks, plus it is compatible with the Xbox LIVE Vision Camera. Also, if you're not into remixed titles, but yearn to play the arcade classic, the two come packaged together.
And remember…
We tank you, so much!
