Oh man, we played this in computer lab in high school to pass time after we were done with our assignments. I believe it was a java/flash version though (year 2000/2001)

Yup. Hours and hours of this. Along with a Java skiing sim called Motion Playground.
yup, it was a java applet. Stopped working when Java in the browser died.
Neat. The website looks the same (in a good way) from when I remember it over a decade ago - are you the creator of the original java port from back then?

yup, this is the original website. The domain kept auto-renewing I guess :)
I brought it back to life at one point as a Java Swing app for my kids, but the server side of things was still wonky. I'm glad to see that it's alive again, I had a lot of fun with this in the early 2000s.
Just played a round, think I found a bug - It was down to one other computer and myself. For some reason the power capped at 235, so neither of us could come close to hitting one another.
you probably got damage. If stuck like this, go to menu and select "mass kill"
