Battlezone, released by Atari in 1980, was the first popular video game to feature 3D graphics, a technological breakthrough at a time when simple 2D games like Space Invaders were the norm. The player controls a tank, in first-person perspective, on a mechanized battlefield against enemy forces equipped with tanks and guided missiles. It is the direct ancestor of every First-Person Shooter, and the US Army even commissioned a customized variant (The Bradley Trainer) to train its tank troops. Surviving cabinets of the game are still very popular with collectors today.In 2016, Rebellion Developments released a reimagining of the classic game, featuring heavy VR elements.

Overflow Error | |
| Battlezone (1980) (Video Game) / int_28638961 | comment |
Overflow Error: The game started the player out with slower, boxy tanks to shoot, until the player had blasted five of them, then the game threw quicker, sleeker tanks at the player. That is, up until the player had 255 tanks killed; thereafter, the register overflowed to -1, an error code. The game however simply interpreted this as "player has not yet killed enough slow tanks" and thereafter fielded the older, slower boxy tanks. This typically happens around the 80000 to 90000 point mark. A related bug would give the player a bogus high score, typically over 1 million points. | |

Vector Game: A trademark of Atari that began with Lunar Lander in 1979. The game is in black and white, but uses a color overlay; green for the onscreen action, and red for the radar and scoring. | |

Obvious Rule Patch | |

Obvious Rule Patch: Added after arcade owners complained about players taking too long because they were exploring instead of fighting — if you go too long without firing your cannon, a missile spawns in. | |

Chekhov's Volcano | |
| Battlezone (1980) (Video Game) / int_ca326e1e | comment |
Chekhov's Volcano: Enforced. The volcano within the game was originally not going to erupt, but Ed Rotberg (the programmer of the game) was pestered by his coworker Owen Rubin into making it active. After Ed finally suggested that Owen write the code himself, it was found lying on Ed's desk the next day. | |
