427858 2006-02-16 07:14:00 Worms is the clone, The game was available as a 2d tank game where you could only move the tank left and right and raise/lower the barrel a good 15 years ago.

One of the originals.

427862 2006-02-16 13:35:00 No that wasn't the tank game.

It's pretty hard to explain. It was like a super advanced version of tank wars. Many AI at once which all could be human controlled if chosen. You could save your place and come back later.

The enviroment was a giant 3D disc that you could move around to view. The terran was able to be blown up (like all tanks games) and you could drop a Napalm or Mega Napalm into it to kill guys.

The walls around the terran was changable. There was a rubber wall that was red that would bounce bombs or your tank if you deceided to 'jump' into it (move around the map), a space map that was like pac-man physics, a different space one where they just disappear, a solid wall where you hit it and fall straight down (or bombs blow up on the wall and not fall).

It's very sad that I remember all this so well.

427863 2006-02-16 15:23:00 I'll try to explain the title screen and the game screen to help.

The title screen has two big solid metal looking doors slamming together (sliding from the left and right side meeting in the middle) and then displays the name of the game.

While playing, on the left side of the sreen you have all your repair options (armor, coolant, sheild, and one other thing) and on the bottom you have your aim, your weapon, and a few other things.

You have no idea how badly this is tearing me up inside not knowing the name of the game, yet I can see it so vividly.
