Battlezone: Official Strategy Guide (Brady Games)

Remember Battlezone, that great vector-graphics arcade game that gobbled up our quarters as we strove to decimate as many triangular tanks as we could? Well, the remake from Activision is nothing like the original--but it is one heck of an impressive game. Shane Mooney's well-written and often humorous guide to Battlezone helps you prepare for the complex challenges of this new and exciting game. After providing a background on each of the game's unit types, the book moves on to mission-by-mission briefings. With the help of maps and screen shots, the book explains your specific mission goals and the tactics you can use to achieve them. An extensive multiplayer section wraps up the book, covering gameplay keys such as how to organize your forces, manage your resources, and prioritize your targets. Battlezone has come a long way since the early '80s, and this book can help you get up to speed in a hurry. --Michael Ryan
