Artillery Duel

Artillery Duel is a strategy game released by Xonox for the Atari 2600 in 1983. This game gives the player the ability to control a cannon as the objective is to plan the trajectory that the bullet will fire at so it will destroy the enemy cannon. Artillery Duel is praised for its unique gameplay mechanics and strategic insights that make the game more enjoyable. Xonox released a Chuck Norris Superkicks/Artillery Duel combo-cartridge later that year.
== Gameplay ==
The game is set on a mountain landscape (a random stage out of the many variants will be chosen) with the two cannons on corresponding sides. Artillery Duel works in a turn-by-turn battle, as each cannon will fire indefinitely until a hit is scored (when a cannon is destroyed by a precise shot). Before firing, the angle and trajectory of the cannon may be adjusted to improve accuracy, which plays a big role on hitting the other cannon. A hit results in a small cutscene showing the cannon being destroyed and a group of soldiers marching back and forth through the screen.
