SE3K Survivors Experience 3000

Borderline

Sega · 1983

Sega's 1981 arcade game, brought home at launch. A jeep drives through fields cutting paths in the grass, laying bombs at the enemy bases while tanks pursue it down the corridors it has just made — the trail is the map, and it is opened for everyone.
