The games will vary in obscurity, but I promise each would have had a North American release.

Please refrain from using reverse image search.

I’ll provide an answer if unsolved in 8 hours.

Can you guess the game ?

    Reminds me of that BattleBots game that released on like, GameCube/PS2. And GBA for some reason.

    EDIT: Okay, apparently the console version never released which makes sense since the only way I remember it is from a gaming magazine image. The GBA game was released with a subtitle.

    Robot Arena 2

    Because I don’t think it’s either Battle Bots or Robot Wars. It’s just that scythe looking hook thing looks familiar from somewhere in a game like this.

      Oh man, played so many hours of this as a kid. I looked it up and it looks like it might actually hold up today as being decently detailed. I might have to boot it up again.

        It’s a damn shame that GOG didn’t go out of their way to pick up both of these games. They were some of the first of their kind.

        Check out Robot Rumble 2! It’s admittedly rougher to onboard and lacks tutorials, but it’s modern and has a pretty solid bot builder. Once it clicks, it really opens up. And it’s free.

    Oh shit, I used to have this game in a 4-pack with Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 back when I was a teenager. Was the name Robot Arena? I don’t have the disk anymore to check
