It's been ages, but when I was younger I could play the arcade-version Battlezone as long as I wanted on one quarter. The key is to drive backwards full-speed, and shift your tack slightly when you need to, to avoid being hit. You can take pot-shots at all your pursuers at will. Fun times.

I loved the arcade version. I very nearly bought one for $500 out of the Denver Post back in '91. Only problem? I was in New Mexico, and 17 years old.

I still regret not having one.

Thank you. It has been ages.
