Front Line

Front Line is a military combat-themed arcade game released in 1982 by Taito Corporation. It was one of the first video games to feature a ground combat theme and grenades. Military-oriented video games of the early 1980s usually involved vehicular combat, such as tanks, but did not include infantry.
