Description from the packaging.
Take Strategy to the Front Lines.
You are the high-level Commander making decisions from your own war-ravaged tank. Lead your U.S. troops on a mission to gain control of a superior alien technology in the true "space race" against the Soviets... or cross enemy lines to the Soviet side. It's all under your command.
Full-Scale 3-D Action
Pilot one of 25 anti-gravity war machines, and wield 25 devastating weapons- including mortars, mines, and the Thumper Device which triggers on-the-fly earthquakes on the morphable terrain.
Complete Strategic Control
Coordinate full-scale attacks with over 30 unique units such as tanks, infantry and mobile assault turrets. Call in artillery, deploy wingmen and manage resources- all from within your tank.
Dynamic First-Person Immersion
Lose your vehicle in battle, bail out, parachute to safety; then use your sniper rifle to take over another unit. Switch vehicles right on the battlefield of one of seven distinct moons or plants!
The Boundaries Between Action and Strategy Are Being Redrawn.
Battlezone. This Means War.
In 1980, the original Battlezone took the computer gaming universe by storm as the first 3-D game ever. In 1998, Battlezone re-invades with an unprecedented new genre that's every bit as revolutionary as the first. Battlezone- the first true real-time action-strategy war experience. Prepare to take command.
