A faithful revival of a forgotten frontier
Battlezone began as a spark in an elementary school computer lab — a wireframe battlefield rendered in glowing vectors, tanks crawling across a silent horizon, and the feeling that you were piloting something real.
For its creator, Battlezone wasn't just a game. It was the first piece of software he ever shared, copied to floppy disks and passed between classmates. A small act of curiosity that quietly set the course for a lifelong relationship with technology, creativity, and systems.
This project is a ground-up recreation of that original school-computer version of Battlezone, rebuilt with obsessive care to preserve its look, feel, pacing, and atmosphere. Not a modern reboot. Not a reinterpretation. A preservation.
The goal is simple and ambitious:
Battlezone is a love letter to early computing, when games were minimal, immersive, and mysterious — and when a single program could change how a kid saw the world.
This is that program, brought back to life.
