I like this game for a lot of reasons. It's two-player, with excellent sound effects, simple but engaging gameplay. Nice touches with the animation, such as the clouds and the marching soldiers.
The 'rank' system lets players of mismatched ability compete somewhat fairly. My brother and I played it over and over again when we were younger.
It's a bit tricky to get it to work in VICE, as you have to attach two separate cartridge images, one at $A000 and one at $6000, then do a soft-reset (ALT-R)

I don't know how to get the images to work on a real VIC, sorry. I have the original cartridge so I've never needed to.
Trivia: A version was made for PalmOS, fairly faithful reproduction. Check out http://www.freewarepalm.com/games/artilleryduel.shtml
