History VideoGame / PanzerFront

''Panzer Front'' was an old UsefulNotes/PlayStation and UsefulNotes/SegaDreamcast (the Dreamcast version was NoExportForYou) game released way back in 2000; it is not a particularly well known game but some of the lucky few who have played it will remember it very well. The game revolves around the tank battles in Europe, from Kursk to the last days of Nazi Germany in 1945. And unlike most dumbed down Tank games these days, most of it was depicted realistically and utilized every last ounce of power the PSX had back then to produce one of the best looking games of it's time.

In addition, a sequel, ''Panzer Front Ausf. B'' was released for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation2 in 2004. It focused on the North African front in 1941 and briefly, the German invasion of France in 1940.
