I don't have much to go on for this one, because I just vaguely remember a demo for a game I played years ago. I don't have much to go on for a search because I'm not even sure if I'm remembering this stuff correctly.
Here are the few things I sort of remember:
- I remember playing the demo for the game back when I got demo discs with old PC games magazines. I remember buying PC Gamer and Computer Gaming World.
- I can't remember then year, but my guess would be somewhere around 1999.
- It was a turn-based combat game. I think the only objective was to defeat all the enemies on the map.
- I remember the demo level being a jungle-style level.
- I think it was a 3D view (probably not first person). But since it was an older game, I think it was a more blocky environment. And I think there were slightly different elevations.
- The character(s) you controlled might have been space marine type characters. In my head I sort of picture it like the Halo characters.
- I think one of the enemies you fought was this red beetle-type monster. And I think it could shoot a flame at you.
- I'm pretty sure the game had hardware accelerated graphics. So it might have been a 3dfx game. I'm thinking the graphics level would have been something like Turok-era (although on a quick look that game was from 1997).
That's it, that's the list. It's such a vague memory, so there isn't much to go on.
Any ideas?
