Hi --

If you are referring to the two player tank battle game, Tunneler, 
with two scrolling views of the same world,  I wrote that game
(many years ago).  It uses the low-res 160x100x16 mode (yes, it really
is a tweaked text mode, so it wastes every other byte).  It does work
in CGA, EGA, and VGA.  I can dredge up the relavent old code and 
email it to whoever is interested.  I wrote it over 5 years ago in
Turbo Pascal 3 and assembler.  

Glad you liked the game!  

Geoff
