There's an arcade near me that has a functioning Battlezone cabinet. The use of a periscope in combination with the 3D graphics is so genius.


Post-covid, it's hard for me to imagine replaying today how, as a kid, I used to press my face into that periscope viewfinder. I remember it sometimes still smelled of cigarette smoke from the previous adult player before I popped in a quarter. Was that salt on my lips?

Awesome 3D game, amazing cabinet design. Holy smoke super gross, too.
