Title: After Years Of Near Obscurity, Atari Turns To Copyright Trolling
Post by: Robert Krausankas (BuddhaPi) on May 03, 2012, 11:02:35 AM

Enter Black Powder Media, the makers of the iOS game Vector Tanks. These guys wanted to pay homage to the classic arcade game Battlezone and made Vector Tanks in its image. Black Powder tried to make it unique and were fairly successful at it. However, even Black Powder's best efforts to avoid copyright infringement were not enough for Atari.
