DOS Games Discussion

Long shot, but Rochard? Or maybe that's a remake of what you want?

I don't know the game, but maybe on this list of alien protagonist games:

Around when did you play?

Random guess: ancient art of war at sea?

Check early warhammer 40k licenses, like space hulk.

System shock & marathon worth a look.

Space war based game? Maybe look for game lists?

Look for lists of elite-like games? 3d first person trade and combat.

I remember the space-worms in the warp engine problem in one of those games. Or one of the star trek games?

Long shot, but jungle crash plane memories are often Hugo III.

But idk the hands thing or timeframe.

"Punch and kick, control the hands" was it an early vr game?

On of the metal gear games? https://www.mobygames.com/game-group/metal-gear-series

Longer shots, maybe hitman series, mdk, jagged alliance series later games.

Maybe search for games like skylanders and disney infinity to find games that came before them?

Maybe one of the early skylanders?

How old? What games?
Dos and win 3.x games can be run, maybe with extra work, in dosbox.
Win 9x/xp games giving trouble, maybe install OS in an emulator or maybe a shim like DxWnd.

Sounds like Robinson's Requim, or one of the survival games it inspired.
