There was an game like this but more advanced where you could buy weapons before starting the game and during gameplay you'd gain money based on how well you played. Me and my brother would play this for hours and hours.

I remember Scorched Earth from the DOS, Win95 days that this was based on. The tanks would hurl slurs at each other before shooting and I recall a similar purchasing system that you mention as well.

Yeah, it was a flash game so it can't be scorched earth, but we had win95 and my dad bought us a bootleg CD full of games (around 15) and i foundly remember playing some of them. One was an official Tarzan game, another was bike driving game were you had to avoid bugs from smashing your face and a mortal combat clone that had me make nightmares for weeks. Good times.

That was the one I played, too. The name of the game was "Tanks".

Yes, that the one. Thanks for telling me. I probably have it somewhere on my pc as an .swf file. Gonna play with my bro another round or two.
