Battlezone?

[ffutures]

Is there currently a PC or Mac version of the old Battlezone game but using modern resolutions? Don't mean the complicated command and control game, or the capture the flag game - I just want to trundle around the landscape shooting other tanks, but do it full screen rather than in the tiny windowed version that is the only Windows release I know of, from one of the old Microsoft games packs.

There's an Atari game bundle for the Ipad--

--"Atari's Greatest Hits" from Code Mystics.

There seems to be an Android port of this, too. And a Nintendo DS. So maybe there's hope for PCs or Macs.

Thanks - I'll look out for it.

Google Guns allows you to attack tanks on real Google Maps

Interesting, but not really what I had in mind.

The original game used vector graphics, so if you use MAME it should look pretty good on modern screens.

Or this one?

I'm getting some security messages when I try that one - says the certificate can't be trusted. I'll check it out properly tonight.

No, the version in the windows game pack appears to have used bitmapped graphics as far as I can tell. It's a fixed windows size anyway, for a 640x480 screen.
