Battlefront (1986 video game)

Battlefront is a computer wargame developed and published by Strategic Studies Group for the Apple II and Commodore 64 in 1986.

Upon starting the game, player chooses from one of four scenarios that depict battles of World War II.

Roger Keating created a dedicated disc operating system for the game that allowed rapid access to the data stored on the disc with subsequent reloading of the game screen.

Additionally, Keating wrote a novel pathfinding routine that helped to minimize memory usage.
