Gameplay FAQ

What differentiates the Lynx version of Battlezone 2000 from the Atari 2600 version?

This Atari Lynx battle sim is a completely new title built from the ground up specifically for the hardware, delivering enhanced polygonal 3D landscapes, a futuristic hover-tank premise with full customization, and mission-based strategy on-the-go—a substantial leap from the earlier generation's arcade and fixed-view 2600 classic.

Are there different difficulty levels or mission types?

Yes, missions are designed to progressively increase in the number and tenacity of robotic enemies as you advance. The game does not generally allow setting an explicit 'easy' or 'hard' mode; instead you make strategic choices on how to configure your vehicle to manage the increasing opposition and complete each mission's liberation objective.

Do you earn in-game resources or unlockables as well as upgrade parts?

Triumphant campaigns open up new vehicle weapons and parts in the post-mission assembly interface, allowing you to build advanced or specialized warmachine types on the fly for future missions. Your resources correlate with the level of challenge surmounted and unlock powerful combat enhancements.

Is the world map open for the player to explore any direction?

The world-map acts as a progressive, nonlinear campaign where you may, to a limited degree, choose from select paths on your route to battle CyberMind’s core, but you will eventually need to liberate all sectors in each section. This encourages strategic planning about order but does demand every front be dealt with.

What kind of game is Battlezone 2000?
