Was battlezone a successful game?
I believe Battlezone was popular when it first came out, but as far as I know now it has dwindled in popularity, possible due to the fact that newer games have better graphics and funner gameplay.
What was the first ever video game with 3D graphics? There is debate as to what the first ever 3d game was but a commonly agreed upon game is Battlezone.

Battlezone is a classic tank game commonly played in the arcade. It places players in the first-person shooter point-of-view, sending them on a mission to attack or shoot at multiple enemies. Battlezone uses bright green vector graphics against a black backdrop, one of the most iconic things about the game.
