Atari revives BattleZone for PSP

Classic wireframe tank ꦛgame filled out fo♉r handheld remake

In yet another case of mining the past for modern-day hits, Atari today announced that it's resurrecting BattleZone for the PSP. The new title is♐ a remake of the 1980 tank game, which wowed arcade rats with then-revolutionary 3D wireframe graphics and a look-into-goggles-to-see-the-screen ca🅘binet.

Goggles and wireframes are things of the past, obviously, but aside from a graphical update, Atari is giving BattleZone something else it never had: multiplayer action. The new BattleZone seems to be very focused on Wi-Fi battles, letting players pit their customizable hovertanks against up to three other combatants. As of press time, the multiplayer match-ups will include traditional dea♏thmatch, capture-the-flag and team deathmatch, as well as "Hotzone," "Knockout" and "Fox and Hound," whatever those are.

The arenas players will fight in are inspired by real-world battl💙efields, including bombed-out cities, jungles, tundra, desert and islands. Throw in downloadable content and an online level editor, and PSP owners hungry for handheld deathmatch🉐es have something to look forward to this November.

After graduating from college in 2000 with a BA in journalism, I worked for five years as a copy editor, page designer and videogame-review columnist at a couple of mid-sized newspapers you've never heard of. My column eventually got me a freelancing gig with GMR magazine, which folded a few months later. I was hired on full-time by GamesRadar in late 2005, and have since been paid actual money to write silly articles about lovable blobs.
