Please help me remember the name of an old game

So I was just thinking about this game I played when I was younger but I can't for the life of me remember its name.

It was a top down shooter where you control a spaceship similar to asteroids. It had a multiplayer deathmatch mode and was taking place in some kind of factory or space station, so not open space.

The graphics, if I remember correctly, were pretty detailed prerendered sprites and it supported SVGA resolutions. I don't know if it was a DOS or windows game, however.

This must have been around 1995-1998 and I think I only ever played the demo version that came with a games magazine in germany.

Anyone have any hints?

Thanks

EDIT: It was in 2D

Nah, not Descent. Thanks though

Thanks, but that's not the game I was looking for.

The gameplay was exactly the same though. It only had better graphics and I think it was only split screen multiplayer.

Trauma?

Nope...

I believe the game also had some kind of racing element IIRC but I'm not sure. I think the main objective was to finish laps and shooting the other player was just a bonus.

Ha, found it!

The game is called Roketz and was released in 1994 on the Amiga and 1996 on the PC.
