Well, after quite some time in front of my computer I finally came to a playable demo where you can drive your tank through a 9-color landscape and fire you bullets as much as you want 
. Actually I used an indexed-colormap in gimp to convert a baked colormap in order to fit the color-constraint.
Control:
1-Left 3-right 8-forward 9-backward 0-fire
You can start the game from the website with java-webstart. Follow this link:

You will need java to start the game. (Just try what happens if you press the button! If it does not work, plz tell me your configuration…)
Nice! Your tank game almost looks 3d.. i mean like real 3d
those trees really pop out of the landscape.. must be the color of the trees vs the landscape colors or something.
I think the reason it looks like 3d is, that it is 3d!
Well with fixed cam-view so some people call this 2,5D.
Aah now I got you “with real 3d”. ..Hehe…yes! The perspective and the small holes in the tree and maybe the almost forgotten dithering-technique makes it really flashy
