I am amazed at all the people out there who like battlezone so much.
It is one of the easiest games that I've ever played.  Once you learn
how to drive a tank the game is trivial. I can't brag of a great high
score though, because the game got too boring after such a short time.
That is the problem with most games.  For a game to be good there should
be a gradual progression of difficulty; most games need this to be
successful commercially also.  One of my favorite games is Tempest.
This game is incredibly hard to master (I never made past the invisible
stage).  Another great game is Mr. Do; it strikes what I consider a perfect
balance between "maze" games and "combat" games.  If you see either of these
in an arcade you should play a dozen or so games, and see what a real game
is like.  To be able to play for a long time on one quarter shouldn't
be a matter of muscular endurance.
