Just to be clear, are you describing an artillery game
in which players take turns shooting at each other's stationary weapons? (Actually, judging by the text in the article, it might be Tank Wars, or else inspired by it.)

PC game, played alongside Daggerfall when that was relevant, based around tanks. Simple block-color graphics, highly pixelated with no shading, where you played a tank against other tanks on different kinds of terrain. You could blast through the terrain and, I believe if you had gravity off it wouldn't collapse but I may be misremembering gravity being involved, but you could definitely sometimes tunnel through hills. It was only one screen wide. In between rounds you could buy a ton of different weapons and armor. Don't know if it was a port and I can't remember much of anything else about it.
