When Peter Hirschberg released Vector Tanks for the iPhone and the iPod Touch, one look and there would be no doubt that the game was inspired by the Atari classic, Battlezone. As the owner of the LunaCity Arcade, Hirschberg proudly displays an upright cabinet Battlezone game on his own property. And now, because of his efforts with Vector Tanks, retro gaming fans can carry it in their pockets for the download price of USD $2.99. Available at the Itunes App Store, Vector Tanks is 3D tank shooter, filled with the neon lime green geometric tanks and jeeps that defined Battlezone. Vector Tanks features increasing difficulty and a faster pace as the game progresses. The tank is controlled using the thumbs at the sides of the iPhone, which does a more than passable job of replicating the dual control action of the original arcade version of Battlezone.
