Re: old computer games i forgot their name
I'm sure. We only had the Megadrive and that's where I played it.

Re: old computer games i forgot their name
Alright Playgrounders, there's an old game I would like to find and I'm wondering if you can help me out.
I played a demo of this game repeatedly a long, long time ago (late 90s - early 00s), but I've completely forgotten the name. Anyway, it's a space sim that starts with the characters busting out of a prison space station and escaping on some sort of mining ship. They include a wisecracking American-sounding guy, an aggressive woman (I think she was a red-head), a sarcastic British cyborg, a somewhat cowardly merchant type and a scary assassin chick with a black ponytail. They switch the stolen ship's IFF beacon for one that makes the ship's name appear as the Mona Lisa and when they happen across some cops, the American guy pretends to be some spoiled rich kid to throw them off.
They end up holing up on an old space station that belonged to the American guy's grandmother, who was apparently a pirate. There was also some government organization called MAAS.

No bells, but some research shows that this game is:
Independence War 2: Edge of Chaos

Re: old computer games i forgot their name
Darn it, I was about to say that! Played I-War 2 many years ago, and it is seared into my memory as one of the most frustratingly difficult games I've ever played--and I played the original X-Wing, so I know of what I speak here...

Re: old computer games i forgot their name
This one has been bugging me for a long time now, despite me only ever playing a demo of it from a cover CD:
The genre was "turn-based tactical shooter with squad of space marine-types fighting melee-oriented aliens in an isometric maze".
These were space marines in the generic sense, not 40k ones, so it wouldn't be Space Hulk or Space Crusade. It wasn't Laser Squad either. Nor was it anything to do with the Aliens series.
The aliens (at least the ones you fought in the demo) were green, reptiloid-looking things).
The games used ploygons (not sprites), which may have been quite novel at the time, although my memory is hazy as to when it came out, so that migt not be that relevant.
