Battlezone

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:

  • • Recreate the original Battlezone exactly as it was experienced
  • • Preserve its vector aesthetic, mechanics, and tension
  • • Bring it to the browser so it can be played anywhere
  • • Expand thoughtfully into multiplayer without compromising the original soul

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.
