The version of battlezone I saw had very few options. All tanks were the same, and the views were 3D with the only obstacles being pyramids and robot tanks. However it was still quite enjoyable to play. So if any one out there knows were the code for this game exists, let me know.

It uses a top down view currently and has a number of different tank bodies, engines, etc. It is possible to design your own tanks and mazes, and there are a number of different "games" you can play. The sources can be FTPed from ftp.eng.umd.edu Lance -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Lance A. Brown brown@cs.utk.edu 3500 Sutherland Avenue, Apt.

This has been removed from the current versions pending its redevelopment(A task that I am currently attempting). XBATTLEZONE is different than XTANK, although I have not seen it around in few years. bigmac@inside.happy.meal Mike McDonald
