Oh man, Battlezone: the Red Odyssey was one of my first true gaming moments and I loved it so much. It was my most favorite game for a very long time. It was believed for a while thar the source code got lost and it therefore wouldn’t become available as DLC for Battlezone 98 Redux, but I guess the developers either found it or remade it from scratch since DLC has been available for some time now.

I bought Battlezone 1 some time after experiencing Red Odyssey and I was sure it had background music though. It was one of the very few boxed games I bought and remembered it had an awesome looking manual. In 1999, Battlezone II: Combat Commander was released and I don’t think it had a story but only a skirmish RTS/FPS mode. I didn’t like it that much.

Battlezone Gold Edition (2017) has nothing to with the above series I think, and seems more like a spinoff of the 1980’s Battlezone. I’ve seen this game once before but totally forgot it existed until seeing it now. Battlezone Combat Commander (2018) is a remake of Battlezone II (1999).
