Lord_Kane: for someone completely new? I dont know, the game can be difficult at times, and it took me about 4 years to finish it,( long story)
depends how long you adapt to things I guess.
Owned the game since its release date and I still haven't finished Battle-Zone, not because the gameplay is difficult or anything but b/c each level is so intricate and vast that I enjoy replaying the same level over again.
Someday, I'll muster up enough passion especially given what is happening today between Russia and USA to finish Battle-Zone.
:)
Another issue I forgot to mention, hadn't considered was that today I use the Logitech flight stick controller which didn't exist at the time Battle-Zone was released.
Had this controller been developed back then, I would have completed the missions much faster. Playing Battle-Zone on a traditional mouse & keyboard was
NOT fun. Nearly 20 years later, playing Battle-Zone on the Logitech the way it was intended feels like as if the game was 'patched' that long, which it wasn't.
