He sees her and walks to her. He only has eyes for her and before he realizes it he finds himself in the New York sewer system. Three Russian submarines have been located in the New York sewer system and they have blocked off the system. Sam's only way out of the sewer system is to destroy the Russian submarines. Luckily, Sam carries his revolver. Sam can't go back... once he's gone through the City Sewer Department seals the tunnel. Luckily, Sam carries his revolver. The sewer system has three types of sewer tunnels. Tunnels with solid dry floors, tunnels with a water passage in the middle and tunnels with pits. Sam can walk, run and creep through the tunnels but Sam can't move as quickly in water. Sam can move from tunnel to tunnel by entering one of the passages that appear occasionally on his way. Each time he enters a new sewer, Sam receives a fresh supply of oxygen. On it's way through the sewer system Sam is under attack by nasties like rats, bats, spiders and more. The ultimate nasties are the Russian submarines. They are located only in water canals. The status bar at the top of the screen contains a distance indicator. It tells you how far Sam has traveled into the sewer. If it's red, it means there's a dreaded submarine at the end of the sewer. The more nasty elements you shoot, the higher you'll score.

Third-Person Shooter Theater [S1E14]: "Battlezone" (Atari 2600 - 1983) [NA Version]
GAMING WITH THE DESERTPUNK!Third-Person Shooter Theater S1E14 Battlezone [バトルゾーン] Atari 2600 Action/Third-Person Shooter 1983 Atari, Inc. NA Version Normal Difficulty Mode * RELATED VIDEO PLAYLISTS: -Third-Person Shooter Theater: https://rumble.com/playlists/KI4Fmv48RMk -The Attract Mode Project: https://rumble.com/playlists/GWQng0_fMzs -Old-School Console Theater: https://rumble.com/playlists/NZeHms3PVHc -Standard Console Theater: https://rumble.com/playlists/UEuK9iop3Fc -Hardcore Console Theater: https://rumble.com/playlists/KdL3xxsx0lc * GAME INFORMATION: Battlezone is a 1980 first-person shooter tank combat video game developed and published by Atari for arcades. The player controls a tank which is attacked by other tanks and missiles. Using a small radar scanner along with the terrain window, the player can locate enemies and obstacles around them in the barren landscape. Its innovative use of 3D graphics made it a huge hit, with approximately 15,000 cabinets sold. With its use of three-dimensional vector graphics, the game is considered to be the first true 3D arcade game that has a first-person perspective, the "first big 3D success" in the video game industry, and the first successful first-person shooter video game in particular. This made it a milestone for first-person shooter games. The game was primarily designed by Ed Rotberg, who was mainly inspired by Atari's top-down shooter game Tank (1974). Battlezone was distributed in Japan by Sega and Taito in 1981. The system was based on vector hardware designed by Wendi Allen which was introduced in Lunar Lander and saw success with Asteroids. The 3D hardware which drove the program saw use in future games, including Red Baron, released in 1981. It is considered to be one of the greatest video games of all time.
