Anyone got a game that looked like this?

The attachment game.png is no longer available

Not shareware but not commercial either, and thus certainly not "abandonware". It's one of those that tried to compete with ARC, Battle City and Subspace (and failed) back when topdown vehicles were the trend. This one supported DirectPlay and was available when DirectX5 was the latest.

(If you don't recognize the screenshot, don't bother with blind "try look here" crap advice - because it won't be there. This is not a "guessing game" either)

Hmm - is that an actual screenshot or an 'approximate' mockup?

some more detail:
- Available in Oct 1997
- an Adrian Hague made it
- the origin of this product is Bellevue WA which is not unusual for early DirectX games

Got a full, unaltered screenshot? You might be able to reverse image search it.

This isn't about searching for red herrings deep in the goldfish internet. If it were actually searchable, this thread wouldn't have existed, hence the attention to hoarders instead. Finding it by its name would lead to irrelevance (like Xenon which returns unrelated matches 100% of the time). It's beyond the webcrawler rodeo.
