    Remember watching this as a child when it came out Yul Brynner was terrifying, so relentless. And the SFX were so realistic for me. The heat/infrared vision images. A total experience for me who was younger than the recommended 14 years old.

    Thanks, if it was not for your comment I'd not have read it cause I was thinking "No, not again, not another blog post about it"

    I still remember the first time I i saw a Battlezone machine in an arcade. It looked incredible to me, it was the most impressive videogame i had seen. It became also an economical disaster that afternoon. I could not stop playing and I was, still am, a disaster playing it.

      The game that took all my money was Defender. But I do remember Battlezone was completely amazing. The whole 3D graphics and vector look were mind blowing. One day I'll break down and buy myself a Vectrex.

        Defender was too difficult for me, had a friend at the time that was the only one playing it cause the rest were not up to the task. And a Vectrex is one of those things I keep saying my self I really don't want one and every few months reading about it and the new games that are our and sighing.

        In Canada, Battlezone was $1 to play when most other games were $0.50 so I simply couldn't really afford to play it more than once or twice.

        Defneder and Stargate certainly took a ton of money off me. There was a pizza place down the street from me that had a Defender that I would play while waiting for my order on Friday nights.

    Remember was one of the first games I typed in a computer, a BASIC version of this and a version of "guess the number".
