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

I’ll provide an answer if unsolved in 8 hours.
Can you guess the game ?

I’d recognize Battle Bots anywhere. Never played a Battle Bots game so I don’t know if the name is different
That looks like Robot Wars: Arenas of Destruction to me. I don’t know if it got a different name for the US release.
One of my favourite childhood games

Correct ! Wow I thought this one was going to unsolved !
Only came out on PC in the US and we never got its amazing sequel…
Both Arenas of Destruction and Extreme Destruction are fun games, but I think I personally enjoyed Arenas of Destruction more. Purely for that one level with all the landmines, that was endless entertainment for me
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.
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.

It’s a really hard game to get into and the UI is as ugly as Sin. But the physics are on another level. Here is hoping it gets some UI revamps .
And some ai bots to fight out of the box.
Battle RC is 5 dollar game on Steam that looks promising.

I loved the Robot Arena games (except for 3) I thought about doing that game. But remembered this one was even more obscure.

Game: Robot Wars: Arenas of Destruction Publisher: BBC/Vivendi Universal Developer: Climax Platform: PS2 / Windows (US only got PC release) Release: 2001 (UK) / 2002 (US)
Winner: dingdongditch
Thanks for all who participated! Will do another tomorrow !!
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.

The console game was developed by THQ and allegedly was close to completion. It’s a shame it never came out.
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
This is Battle Bots
edit:
dang, well congrats to those who knew/guessed correctly
It looks like an older Robot Arena 2, the game I was looking for yesterday after remembering that I used to play a cool robot-building/fighting game during childhood. Oh the nostalgy…
