    I'm trying to remember the name of this old tank-like game.

    I remember playing it on a mac I believe, but I think it had a Windows version too, this was back in 1995 or something.

    Basically you were this green or blue tank, and the objective was to kill all enemies on a given level.

    What was notable about the game was that everything was wireframed or solid color polygons, there were no fancy textures or anything, all single-color wireframes.

    There were different types of enemies and walls.

    There were bombers (purple or pink in color..), tanks that could shoot walls (I think), walls that would move if you weren't looking at them, one-way walls.

    The enemies were all different geometrical shapes, if I recall, the primary enemies were red triangle tanks.

    Probably sounds really vague but it's all I can remember of it. Any pointers would be appreciated :D

    This one? There are many flash variations, just google "tank wars". I remember playing it on a 386 PC, probably my first PC game (I feel old now :( )

    Battlezone (1980) but I remember playing a very similar clone/port on Windows 95.

    It was similar, except the enemies were solid colors and the UI was much more sparse, you also couldn't see yourself on the screen.

    Was a fully 3D game

    Good times. iPhone and iPod Touch owners may want to check out Vector Tanks.
