Oh, a newer Battlezone. Not the original from 1980, the first 3D coin-op game.[1]

Having the same name was an understandable marketing decision, but I think it probably harmed it in many ways. The game is interesting and different even today (although I’ve mention my reservations about it further up)

My first thought on reading the title was "8k hours is a lot of quarters".
