Identify a DOS / Windows game, virtual reality trench flying

[Ivo]

Continuing the discussion I started on the other thread:

http://www.racketboy.com/forum/search.p ... s&start=30

I'm trying to remember a game I played years ago on a PC (I think a Pentium II). It was very likely "CD-Rom" age game with early 3D graphics with not much in the way of textures. You played a sort of space ship, but in virtual reality rather than in space and you were mostly "on rails" and stuck to a trench. You couldn't fly much above the trench at all. The most I remember from the game is the mechanic for going faster involved going to the bottom and maintaining the ship pressed to the floor. I think this also got the ship to overheat if done continuously, but you needed to do it in order to complete the missions on time or something like that.

The missions were based around cyberpunk themes - I don't remember if you played a hacker against corporations or if you played a sort of cyber-police against malicious hackers, but I think you needed to deliver packages of info safely or stuff like that. I think typical "end-level" bosses were fashioned as moving walls with weapons in order to work well with the on-rails, trench nature of the game.

I know that isn't much to go on, but if anyone has further clues to the game I'd like to know.

Your link is wrong. Here is the older suggestions:

Maybe one of the ground tank games?

ARCTIC FOX (Dig in the snow, maybe first "Gears of War Cover game?)


STELLAR 7 (Pretty Battlezone targets)



SPECTRE VR? (Virtual polygon tanks, capture that flag!)

Along with Jetfighter II and Marathon, pretty Origami packaging, drove store shelf merchandisers nuts.

Possibly Tunnels of Armageddon?



Or it sounds a lot like the old Bethesda game, Delta-V.



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_V_%28video_game%29

Delta V, follows a cyberpunk theme, taking place in a future where mega-corporations hire hackers to acquire data, which has become the currency of that era. The player starts the game as a captured hacker who is conscripted by Black Sun, one of the mega-corporations, to join the ranks of their online operatives and risk his life piloting programs through cyberspace to steal rival corporations' data and defend Black Sun against invading hackers. Rather like The Matrix, the player's character brain-jacks into cyberspace and operates virtual vehicles and weaponry in a virtual environment to accomplish his mission, while avoiding getting his brain fried by the real effects of virtual damage.

It is Delta V!

Now that I know the name, more screenshots here showing the typical trench gameplay.
