	The Essential 50 Part 5 -- Battlezone from 1UP.com
		Battlezone was a case of the right game at the right time: an innovative step forward in game design offered to a public hungry for something new and sophisticated.
		Early games were in a lot of ways a learning process for gamers as much as for the designers who made them; as arcade-goers mastered basic gameplay concepts, they graduated to more intricate forms of action.
		Early home conversions of Battlezone were unable to reproduce the intensity and immersion of the arcade original, and console games remained almost entirely two-dimensional for another decade after its debut due largely to technological limits.

	AtariProtos.com - All Your Protos Are Belong To Us!
		Battlezone starts off promisingly enough with a nice 3D lettered title screen and a really cool rendition of "Ride of the Valkyries", but after playing for only a few minutes one can see that Atari still had alot of work left to do on this game...
		It was long assumed that Battlezone would have been packaged in an oversized box with a joystick coupler in the same way Space Dungeon and Robotron: 2084 were, but a picture of the prototype box seen in the movie Cloak and Dagger has shown that it was actually a regular sized box.
		Since Battlezone was scheduled for a November release and this version is dated late September, Atari may have realized that they weren't going to be able to get all the needed changes finished in time to meet the released date and scrapped it.

	Battlezone 2: Combat Commander review for the PC
		Two years ago, the example was the critically huddled masses' response to Battlezone, one of the most innovative and enjoyable action strategy games ever produced.
		In Battlezone 2, although scrap metal may still be recycled from the battlefield, it is primarily taken from mysterious "scrap pools" (?), which allow for a steady, constant supply of metal.
		And, unlike in Battlezone, there is a great focus on treaded units, which can be confusing to control and certainty not as smooth as a hovercraft during a fight.

	Denny Aungst's Battlezone game
		Battlezone was designed by Ed Rotberg at the same time as Red Baron, hence the similarities in architecture.
		The Battlezone legend says that a military version of the game exists as a training simulator for the Bradley fighting vehicle.
		The game has to be high because the image is projected onto a mirror that stands up in the back of the cabinet to create the 3-D effect.

	Game Studies - Social Realism in Gaming (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Within the world of gaming it is possible to divide games into two piles: those that have as their central conceit the mimetic reconstruction of real life, and those resigned to fantasy worlds of various kinds.
		I suggest that game studies should follow these same arguments and turn not to a theory of realism in gaming as mere realistic representation, but define realist games as those games that reflect critically on the minutia of everyday life, replete as it is with struggle, personal drama and injustice.
		While the game is more or less realistically rendered, its connection to realism is seen primarily in the representation of marginalized communities (disenfranchised youth, hackers, ethnic minorities and so on), but also in the narrative itself, a fantasy of unbridled, orgiastic anti-corporate rebellion.

	8-Bit Rot (5200 battlezone Prototype)
		One interesting thing I should point out is that Battlezone gives you the option of using two joysticks to simulate the way movement is done in the arcade version.
		I assume Battlezone would have been packaged with a joystick coupler the way Space Dungeon and Robotron were.
		Since Battlezone was scheduled for a November release and this version isdated late September, Atari may have realized that they weren't going to be able to get all the needed changes finished in time to meet the released date and scrapped it.

	Game Studies 0102: Aki Järvinen The Halo Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Generally it is accepted that computer and video games constitute a cultural genre as such, but the distinctions, continuums and variations within that cultural genre remain uncharted.
		Or, that a game genre equals hybridity, because game genres are complex sums of interaction and rule mechanisms, audiovisual styles, and popular fiction genre conventions.
		Your average gaming situation in Halo, with the NPCs shouting out their war cries and generally acting according to militaristic clichés, equals one being thrown in the middle of a Starship Troopers or Aliens fighting scene (slap!).

	Untitled Document
		Computers are more than a hundred times more powerful now than they were then, and Activision has applied that power to make a game that is just as ground-breaking, despite bearing little relation to the original.
		In the original Battlezone, the land was flat as a pool table, broken up by the occaisional cube or pyramid.
		Battlezone has become a kind of first person Command and Conquer, with 30 different units to control and if you get tired of fighting the computer, you can battle up to four players on the internet or eight on a network.

	Battlezone
		Battlezone was the first computer game which would let you roam around freely in a computer generated 3D world.
		The idea of the game was to shoot and destroy as many enemy tanks, UFO's and homing missiles as you possibly could before the enemy destroyed your tank.
		Battlezone was way ahead of it's time, take a look at most modern day computer games and you can see that the game play is pretty much the same as Battlezone's.

	GameOver - Battlezone Mission Pack: The Red Odyssey (c) Team Evolve
		Battlezone, released early last year, was a great game; one that had me playing it for weeks over the Internet.
		A year is quite a long time, and with the development of Battlezone 2 well underway, "Red Odyssey" would have to do quite well for itself to be accepted.
		In the original Battlezone, throughout the US campaign you had glimpses of the Black Dogs, and in multi-player, a chance to play Black Dog units.

	Battlezone : Interviews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		In the case of Battlezone, the designers had a pretty good idea of what they wanted to do given the current technology at hand, so the beatings were minimal.
		In the case of Battlezone, I'd have to say that a large part of its success was due to the talented people on the team.
		Their commitment to making a quality game was one of the main reasons the game turned out so well.

		You might get a new game influenced by the original, a totally new game with no relation to the classic except for name, a rehash of the original with better graphics...
		In-game cinematics are done right in the engine, and they're seamlessly integrated into the game (sometimes they play right in the middle of a mission).
		Battlezone is an incredibly complex, well designed game that is sure to keep you busy for a long time.

	Battlezone II: Combat Commander - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Battlezone II: Combat Commander is a 1999 computer game released by Pandemic Studios as a sequel to Activision's 1998 Battlezone.
		The events of Battlezone II are set in an alternate version of the 1990s, in which access to alien technology necessitates the creation of an international peacekeeping force, the International Space Defense Force (ISDF), whose role is to oversee distribution of the rare bio-metal resource and mediate disputes between member nations.
		Battlezone II was not made to be compatible with Windows 2000 and both its installation program and the main game executable will crash if run on that operating system.

		Although part of the draw of the arcade version was that everything looked liked it was computer generated in futuristic (at least at the time) 3D graphics, the great gameplay was kept in tact and in the end this was what most gamers were looking for.
		Although these drastic changes to the were necessary to port Battlezone to the underpowered 2600, some of the magic is gone as a result.
		However after they had been working on Battlezone for about a month they were informed that GCC had also been working on Battlezone and had already finished their version.

	Review: BattleZone 1998 - Part 1
		Developed by Atari in 1980, the original BattleZone will always be remembered as one of the first video games in existence, along with such classics as Missile Command, Asteroids, and Tempest.
		The remake of BattleZone by Activision seems to go with the notion that 90's gamers are more sophisticated and want different kinds of games than gamers in the 1980's.
		BattleZone 1998 is a curious mix of a first-person action game, a strategy game ala Command & Conquer, and a wargame like Civilization.

	Mindjack: Tech Run
		Battlezone producers Activision have truly outdone themselves with what I consider to be their most impressive piece of software to date.
		I started up the game expecting to drive around blowing fairly pixilated communists to tiny bits, but what was presented to me was something else entirely foreign to what I had known.
		This is the first game I have seen that bridges the gap between simulation games such as F-15 (since the hover tanks in Battlezone handle more like a jet then they do a tank) and strategy games like Command and Conquer.

		Luckily for those of us that are still loyal to this game (and there are still quite a lot of us especially given the age of the game) it is continuing to be supported in an unofficial capacity by a couple of the game's original devlopement team by the way of new patches, etc.
		Technically speaking this game is a vast improvement over it's predecessor, the game is far more moddable which has without doubt added to it's longevity, multiplayer is a lot more stable and it's no longer possible to cheat in the way that totally destroyed Battlezone 1 as a multiplayer experience.
		Battlezone 2 is a seamless blend of first person action and realtime strategy, allowing you to control your forces and build a base, etc. from right there on the battlefield in glorious first person perspective whilst simultaneously blowing the hell out of hoardes of alien attackers with the combat unit of your choice.

	GameOver - Battlezone 2 (c) Activision
		It has been quite a while since the original Battlezone was released, and since its very late expansion pack's arrival, now Pandemic Studios finally releases their long-awaited sequel to one of the pioneering games in creating the blend of "Strategy/First Person Shooter" (Uprising was first, but that sucked =).
		Getting a game going isn't quite as simple as it used to be either, instead of using the original's excellent system of joining a regional server to a chat room, and there hosting a game, they had to change it to a crap gamespy system.
		It's an enjoyable game, but blunting all the radical features means this game doesn't score anything radical either, I pray for perhaps the original Battlezone to simply be updated with nicer graphics and a few minor tweaks, its simply too hard to try and add more good features to the great game that was "Battlezone"

		I play this game mainly on a LAN with four other drivers and there is not yet a game to match this for driving fun.
		I find this game to be a smart version of Red Alert and everything that RA should have been.
		The MP side of the game was sadly lacking and I found that after 10 minutes of DM I was bored stupid.

		There are some who also have multiple machines, like myself, who would like to have their buddy join in an on-line Battlezone II strategy game through a shared line via a Router connecting the two computers.
		The player on the Master computer insures that the "Connect thru Gateway" button is set and then starts a new game just like they would when starting any new game.
		Another BIG advantage of this is lower lag as one or more of the players are on a 10/100 connection to the main host which means fewer players relying on the reliability of their on-line connections to prevent lag.

		Hosting a game is similarly intuitive, with the only difference being the ability to select the map and type of game, and to limit the types of vehicles available to players.
		On-line games can also be kept private through the use of a password, or open for anyone to join.
		Battlezone II will also warn the player if they don't have the correct enhancement while attempting to log on to a multi-player game, eliminating any version conflicts that could arise.

		If you talk to the community folks who really know the game, you will find that what is present is merely a facade for what could have been a truly amazing game.
		As it stands now, the game is merely adequate in gameplay, amazing in visuals and adequate in internet stability.
