Many years ago there was a game I played on my 486 DX 33 (yes that many years ago), where you designed a robot (Chassis, wheels, motor, weapons, armour and power supply), from a list of parts etc, then put them into an arena and fought against an NPC or over a LAN/IPX connection with your friends.
I was watching last season of battlebots this afternoon and one of my sons asked if we could make one - I told him not really, but there was a game where he could. I spent a fair chunk of the evening searching for it, but had no luck.
The only one I could find was the BattleBots licensed game by THQ that was cancelled due to the studio folding...uh sorry - the "Acquisition" by Nordic games (Now THQ Nordic).
Anyone remember what it was called?

Robot Wars: Arenas of Destruction ?

(Since BattleBots was derived from the UK Robot Wars tv show to begin with)

No it was older then that I'm afraid - I would have played it in the mid to late 90's - but thanks for the try - I'm going to see if I can track down a copy :) looks similar to what I'm after but with better graphics :)

Maybe Robot Rage / Robot Rage Rearmed?

You can build a robo-car-thingy, put spikes or razor-launchers or plows on it and fight other people on a dark rooftop.

it might be Robot Arena II, I found the a gameplay video of it. I guess the full name of it is Robot Arena II: Design and Destroy. Release date February, 2003
Robot Arena

I thought the name of the game is Robotica at first (cause there was a tv show about it called Robotica) but there is another game with that name.
