Can you help me figure out this game?

Postby Catharsis » Tue Feb 10, 2015 3:21 pm

Hi guys :hi:

I searched the forum categories and couldn't find a request area, so I hope it's okay to post my request here.

I am trying to remember an old PC game I played once when I was very young, it's retro enough to have had one of those massive boxes which would push open with the thick manual inside when you undo the stickers :) I miss those days.

I tried looking through some of the Box Art gallery here but I can't navigate it all too well without knowing the title.

I am rusty on the details, it has nearly escaped me entirely and I remember I wasn't very good at the game lol. Description as follows.

Game Description: A 3D science fiction flying around in a (usually) black ship (I remember being in a desert & canyons shooting at turrets etc) I think the game had futuristic Egyptian influences..

The Box Art description: Had two ladies on either side I think looking inwards towards the center. I don't think the game was very popular or took off well, but I'm hoping someone here might have played it once before.

I would say it was made in the late 90's?

I would be so grateful if someone could help me. :angel:


Best Regards,
Serge.

Hello and welcome.

Was it called 'Sand Warriors'? Not sure what else it could be.

Thank you so much!!!!!! I am very very happy :)

You have totally cleared this up for me! I was about 10 or 11 when I played this game on the PC and it had been in the back of my mind for so long.

I can't tell you how impressed I am with your turn around time for an answer Hot Trout :)

Thanks! :thankyou:

So I take it that it was called Sand Warriors then. You are very welcome by the way, I often find I can't remember the name of something I played when a child and when you do actually find out :freakout:
