I think the game was a further development of the excellent
Microgame Ogre, designed by Steve Jackson and put out by
Steve Jackson Games.  I remember actually finishing games during
lunch hour in high school...

It is a similar situation in that a single, huge cybernetic tank
(size of a football field, I think) takes on these smaller
armored vehicles and men in powered armor.  Sells for about $5.
Well worth the money in play value.
