First, thanks to all who responded to my Battlezone query! The replies were really helpful. From mail I've received and articles posted, it looks like the current price is around $200, and that it's as reliable as any other arcade game (which sort of surprises me, I guess...). Second, I think there's some confusion about the "extra tanks". It's true that the only real "extra tanks" you can get in the game (i.e. "bonus lives", as another arcade vector game puts it) are at 15-25K and 100K. However, you also get little tanks by your NAME on the high score board. You may obtain an arbitrary number of THESE, I believe at 100K 200K 300K 500K or some such progression... Again Thanks, Bart Massey ..tektronix!reed!bart

After awhile, though, the tanks run off the board: but that's only if you're really good. My high score is over a million: Anyone out there who has beaten that? Harry Snyder
