I'm trying to remember the name of a game from the Apogee-era, maybe 1994 or 1995. It was a simple third-person action game where you ran around in a maze-like arena, shooting enemies with machineguns and flamethrowers. Surprisingly, if you divvied up the keys on the keyboard, a second person could play in a crude, co-op style mode on the same screen. For its time, this was a really cool feature. The whole thing wasn't quite an isometric perspective, but it wasn't a side-scroller, either.

A while back, I found an image that I swear comes from the game, but if you reverse-image search it, it turns up nothing:

Hey! That's it. Thank you.

No problem.
I played the living hell out of that game when I was a kid, probably the first PC game I played multiplayer too.

Hmmm, maybe it is just lost to the ages.

I am coming more and more to the conclusion that because the gas station thing is literally the only part of the game I ever saw, I would have to find a screenshot of it specifically. I mean, it is the very first screen of the game, but drat I do not expect to find it based on that.

Thanks for the help.

My guess would be warzone 2100, it has a gas station thing and the first level is somewhat deserty.

Here's the only screenshot that has a gas station with sign in it that I could find (most of them I saw were reskinned in some way)
the gas station is in the middle of the right-hand side of the screenshot getting blown up.

Trying to get an answer for a friend, as I couldn't figure it out and now it's bugging me, too. Here's what I got from him:

It's a Genesis game, and he said this:
"It was like a futuristic sport in an arena I think? And you could like fight with players on the other team,
and I cant remember if you were robots or cyborgs or monsters or what."

We've deduced we aren't thinking of Mutant League or Cyberball. Can anyone help with these piss-poor leads?

what kind of sport?
There was a baseball one with robots that I liked called super baseball 2020
