Battlezone is a 1980 first-person shooter tank combat video game developed and published by Atari, Inc. for arcades; in Japan, it was distributed by Sega and Taito. The player controls a tank which is attacked by other tanks and missiles. Using a small radar scanner along with the terrain window, the player can locate enemies and obstacles around them in the barren landscape. Its innovative use of 3D graphics made it a huge hit, with approximately 15,000 cabinets sold.
