by POPEYE20. Comment: "This is a really neat early 80's game, although the stages don't change visually, it does get more challenging the farther you go. If you can play it in the environment version you will appreciate it more." (2002-01-23 18:25:08Z)

Early Atari documentation list
Submitted by Gregg Woodcock (woodcock@bnr.ca) Here is a pretty complete list of documentation for Atari's early arcade video games. Note that "TM" stands for "Technical Manual" and "DP" stands for "Drawing Package [supplement]" which was later renamed to "SP" which stands for "Supplement Package".

In addition, most Atari games had "ST" documents which w

Army Battlezone (Atari, 1980/1981)
Submitted by Unknown "Army Battlezone remains a mystery, even to those of us who worked on it." Editor's Notes: I recently had the privilege of discussing Atari history with a member of Atari's development team. This individual worked at Atari for a period of several years, including the "Golden Age", and was a major contributor on many of the classics we've come to know know and love. A note of thanks to him, not just for the information on these pages, but for hours of fun in the arcades.
