Need help finding an old game
- Thread starter Dex3000
- Start date
sorry fellas, still no hits :/
tho the terranova screenshot seems pretty close, but i remember even worse grafix.
I actually have cyberstorm original game in box hehe.
But remember, this was NOT your ordinary game store, how shall i put this. It collected all sorts of games, heck for all i know this game might be for amiga.
I have browsed 2000 dos game covers on http://www.coverbrowser.com/covers/dos-games
with still no luck, and if i remember right from earlier searches amiga games did have big boxes.

No, think it was black, but the lighting in the picture made it look orange/red, like if it was dark and some sort of fire put light on it, if you know what i mean. but it was hand drawn if it helps. like almost all the old game covers.
there was only the robot standing on rocks or cracked ground something with both arms as guns, and the sky behind it, witch was very cloudly, almost like smoke and it was orange/redish.

Armored Core? Doesn't match the PC requirement but the box art seems spot on? Maybe you got confused?Dex3000 said:

Hmm, well the first thing I thought when I read your first paragraph was "that sounds like Heavy gear" but I see you have that up there already. Try these:
Crusader No Regret
Crusader No Remorse
Earthsiege 2
Earthsiege
Gnome
Iron Assault
KrazyIvan
MEchwarrior
Terminator Skynet
Blam! Machinehead
Heavy Gear II
Good luck in your search!
Edit:
Something else you've got to remember though is that games often released with different sets of box art, especially in different countries.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was Amiga, the Amiga was a much bigger platform than the PC back then (mid 90's) because most PC's had no soundcards and only CGA or EGA graphics. The sort of lush box art you describe was absolutely typical of Amiga games. However if it was an amiga game it was not very likely to be an FPS or robot combat sim, the amiga didn't have enough RAM to run those sort of games.Dex3000 said:

I can't think of any Mech sims on the Amiga. Flight sims and space combat games, sure, but not Mechs. That sort of box art is also typical for tabletop games. I suppose if the shop was eclectic enough then it could have been something like a Battletech box set.Continuity said:
