Looking for an old game (or at least name)?

#1

So one of my friends is looking for an old (probably DOS) FPS game, but neither of us know the title. Here’s his description:

Sorry it’s really vague, but he doesn’t remember much.

#2

Are you sure it was firstperson and not thirdperson view? Because if so, I don’t know, sorry.

#3

I looked through the list of DOS sci-fi FPS games on MobyGames and ended up with these possible results:

Blam! Machinehead
Tunnel B1
Skaphander: Der Auftrag

/shrugs

“you float around instead of walking” - Descent-like flight or hovering around near the ground?

#4

^ Those all look pretty close to what OP’s describing.

#5

Thanks. I’ll get him to have a look at those.

#6

Could straight up be Mechwarrior.

#7

Half Life - Germany edition

#8

His description does sorta sound like one of the Descent games:

#9

Damn, the now legacy games were sooo good. There are no such games nowadays.

#10

That was my first thought.

#11

He says it’s none of these, but he’s fairly interested in Skaphander: Der Auftrag. At that rate it’s probably not something we can find tbh. I’d assume by floating around he means hovering near the ground.

#12

That’s a challenge.

I’d take it if I weren’t so lazy.

#13

Maybe it was a Windows 3.x or Windows 95 game?

Defiance (gameplay)

#14

Could be it too. He said “old pc game”, he didn’t specify if it was Windows or DOS.

EDIT: That’s it! Thanks Dreadmoth.
