    <![CDATA[i am looking for an old 3d action-adventure game the story takes place in ancient aztic pyramids

the game was published sometime during 90s  certainly before 2000  

the game has many challenges and puzzles  it is somehow similar to tomb rider  

i think i remember the main character wears a cow-boy hat  

but i dont think the character appeared during the game-play i think it was a first person game

i dont remember much more than that  i remember there was one giant rat in one of the challenges which was terrifying

    <![CDATA[im looking for an rts (realtime strategy) game that i played awhile back but i cant remember the name of it for those unaware rts games are like age of empires cc and those kinds of titles

i have a bit of a cloudy memory on this game so all the details listed here may not be right but hopefully someone will pick up on a clue from it and determine what it is for me this game i was playing involved where you started out with a patch of land to build on and start making buildings needed for expansion and it started that you were one race of people like russians chinese americans germans etc you started off in like the 17th century building rudimentary weapons and things but time processed and as you grew and grew you had military industrial complexes in the later stages and could call in air attacks and drop nuclear bomb

heres a link to a page that supposedly has cataloged all rts games so this might make your life easier to help me find it httpwwwrakrentcomrtscrtsc_gameslist2htm

but that one is a little hard to navigate and there arent any screen shots there are obviously lots of other game sites out there that have archives of old rts games so hunt around and see what you can come up with

the easiest way for me to be able to tell if its the game im looking for would be to look some screenshots or captured video from the gameplay to tell<br><br>Asked By: <a href="http://www.whatwasthatgame.com/member/96/FJB">FJB</a><br />on 30-12-2011<br>Category: PC<br>Views: 65 | Answers: 1<br/><br/><br /><hr>    ]]>

  <title>very old dos space game</title>
  <link>http://www.whatwasthatgame.com/PC/very-old-dos-space-game_88</link>
  <description>
    <![CDATA[i remember a very old dos game where you play a ruler in far into the future you need to travel by ship from planet to planet to gather resources you also need to research new technology space battles are handled by an advisor the best you could buy was nearly an android and you could see him manage the fight on a big screen where your ships and the enemy ships are all represented by dots and youd see them swarming around
after a space battle there could be a ground battle where you control some tanks its very simplistic with both sides rolling towards the other

the game was extremely linear and playing the game mostly consisted of dying over and over and over untill you found the absolute optimal way to play the game is quasi real time (not turned based) and i think you can speed up the time too if youre waiting for something 

going to another planet for resources in your ship also cost a lot of time and choosing where to go was pretty vital to your survival 

the trick to the very first land battle (where your tanks are always inferior outranged and outgunned) the trick was to stagger your troops so that the enemy tanks would roll up to 1 of your tanks but be suddenly in range of 2 of your tanks (ai was non existant) 

there were also set events like finding a ship floating in space what you decided to do generally meant defeat or living for a little while longer

i played it a lot like 15 years ago but for the life of me ive no idea what it was called any help is appreciated<br><br>Asked By: <a href="http://www.whatwasthatgame.com/member/84/vaen">vaen</a><br />on 08-10-2011<br>Category: PC<br>Views: 139 | Answers: 0<br/><br/><br /><hr>    ]]>
