It's Arcade August on LGR! First up is Atari's Battlezone, the first-person perspective tank combat game with vector graphics and a sweet dual joystick cabinet.
So glad I just found this channel. I haven't seen this game since I was around 5. It used to be one of my favorite computer games when I was growing up.
loving these arcade reviews! Finaly built my own cabinet last winter after years of having it on my mind. nothing more relaxing then having a ice cold beer and playing the classics from the comfort of home.
Atari came out with a couple follow ups in the late 1990's, Battlezone and Battlezone 2: Combat Commander. They were a unique blend of FPS and RTS. Like C&C meets the Battlefield games. Battlezone 2 is still my favorite LAN party game.
Thank you for posting a video of my favourite arcade classic on my birthday! I've also been in an arcade mood lately so Arcade August is a welcome surprise!
Damn, why didn't I get Battlezone on the Vic back then, didn't realise it was such a good version, instead spent my Vic days playing Paratrooper, Blitz, Trader and other such games...all cool games of course. Thanks for posting the video, great as usual.
You blew my mind with this one! Battlezone was the first arcade game that I ever played...back in the day when arcades had ash trays on the cabinets! There are five Fridays in August this time around brother. Does that mean that we have four more arcade reviews coming our way? Either way, I appreciate what you do, and always enjoy what you have to share. Thanks bro!

I consider Battlezone to be the actual progenitor of the FPS genre

I had the Atari 2600 version of this game when I was a kid...I remember it having fog and snow that would effect visibility. Pretty cool game.
why didn't this game come out on "Vectrex" ??! That would have been the only home console that could have emulated this game properly ...
The banana joke made me laugh out loud :)

This was at the Galloping Ghost in Brookfield, Illinois.

There's also the Microsoft Arcade floppy for Win 3.11/95. It was damn close, and also had Centipede, Tempest, and other greats on it.

Kinda wish he'd talk about the Battlezone pc game that came out in the late 90s.
Nice review! I always really liked the design of this cabinet.
Battlezone is an awesome arcade. Thanks for the different systems - never seen this on VIC-20 (or VC-20 known here in Germany).
Great review. Can't wait for the rest of the month.
First review from ya in a while LGR! Excellent :)
Loving Arcade Awesome and it's just started Lgr! Thanks for making me laugh! Seriously when I first subbed I thought you were a stand-up comedian! XD
Can't wait to see what the other arcade games you are reviewing.
Thank you for reviewing these Arcade ports. They are relevant to my interests. In that I am interested in them and that is relevant to me.
