I've been looking for a game for years; kudos to anyone who can name it:

It was a PC pre-Windows overhead-view vector graphics multiplayer 'tank' game. Your tank was a triangle. You could buy weapons at the end each level, such as spread-shot, etc. It could be played with at least two players using the same keyboard. There were computer controlled players that could be added.

Scorched Earth?

Nice try, but the game I'm thinking of was very different to Scorched Earth or QBasic Bananas.

It was an overhead view, played in real time. The thanks were triangles, and shot little white blocks. However, like Scorched Earth, you could add computer players or buy upgrades at a shop.

I curse this thread for making me think about this game again; I'm effectively non-functional until I know what it's called.

The game was set in like a pacman style maze. You moved a triangle around that shot bullets and you fought against another triangle who did the same. Ancient game, probably very early 90s if not very late 80s.

Speaking of which I wonder if this is the same game that GaoGaoStegosaurus is thinking of.

Yup. This is the one. I would dearly love to fire her up once again for some triangle-action.

At least I now have an ally in my quest.

My friend, I have found it. Destruction Zone: http://www.digitalscores.com/dzone/

Let me know if that's the one. It's a little underwhelming though since it's not exactly how I remembered it. I get the feeling that it might not be the right game but it is.

Well done! I am delighted; the quest has come to an end.
