TRIVIA
Originally called 'IFV' (Infantry Fighting Vehicle), this game was commissioned by the U.S. Army for infantry vehicle training.
Bradley Trainer used existing "Battle Zone" hardware with many modifications. The simulator also used a replica of the controls from a real Bradley Fighting Vehicle. The control was later modified for use in Atari's coin-op "Star Wars".
Only two prototypes of this machine were ever produced. One of the prototypes is now in the hands of Scott Evans (http://www.safestuff.com). The other's whereabouts are unknown, and presumed destroyed.
