[kinger8938]

Just recieved an old big box pc game for nostalgia reasons! Guess the game based on a few box quotes, ill add another shortly if no one gets it! No google :3

First quote

-A mixture of strategy and action ranging from cunning deliberation to outright firepower!

 

[Gregster]

Populous?

 

[kinger8938]

Populous?

Not populous! Maybe a bit newer than that not too sure i would have to look it up

 

[Apem]

C&C or Black and White

 

[kinger8938]

C&C or Black and White

Neither of these but you are on the right lines (*it may not even be known as a good game lol, i have fond memories of it though. I think it will be kind of well known surely)

-totally non-linear gameplay means no set number of missions - YOU initiate the conflict

 

[kinger8938]

It was one of the first rts games to feature fully fledged 3d unit models rather than sprites from the competition

Caused massive lag if i remember

 

[Frenzy]

Beyond call of duty?

 

[kinger8938]

Beyond call of duty?

not that one

its based on something from another type of media

there was a ps1 version of the game sharing its name but couldnt have been more different! didnt play it myself but looks like an awful 3rd person mess
