Hunt enemy tanks across a stark wireframe battlefield from inside your own gun sight.
Pilot a tank in a first-person, vector-graphics arena. Rotate to scan the horizon, drive into position and fire when an enemy tank lines up in your sights, then move before they return fire.
Tank Vector revisits Battlezone, released by Atari in 1980 and designed by Ed Rotberg, a first-person tank duel drawn in glowing vector wireframe and viewed through a periscope hood built into the cabinet.
The hood is not decoration — it removes the arcade around you and leaves only the horizon, which is why people describe it as the first game that felt like being somewhere. Obstacles block shots and hide enemies, the radar tells you what the narrow view cannot, and the tank steers with two levers like a real tracked vehicle. The US Army asked Atari to build a training version, to the considerable discomfort of some of the team.
Tank Vector is an original free browser revival of first-person vector tank combat, with Normal and Hard difficulty and an endless arena. Play instantly, no install.
