"Battlezone" tank game questions

[nopeda]

Hi,

 

I used to love playing Battlezone in arcades (when I could afford it) and recently have been delighted to find that there are places where you can play it online. Are there any other people here that are into it? Can anyone suggest good places to discuss it? Are there forums devoted to it, or is it not that popular? The two places I've found to play it online are:

 

http://chrome.atari.com/battlezone/

http://my.ign.com/atari/battlezone

So far I like the first one best, but both of them only give you 3 tanks to start with. In a video at:

the guy starts out with 5 tanks. Is there a place you can play it free online that gives you 5 tanks to start with? Also, is it possible to get handles to use to control it instead of just using the very restrictive arrow keys?

 

Thanks for any help!
