    Question Help me identify an old game

    This goes back quite a few years, probably around mid 90s.

    I'm 99% sure it was released by Sierra and I played it on the PC running windows 95 or something.

    It's an action/adventure platform style game, where you're an agent or something and have to save the world.

    Various enemies, and the one I can remeber is something that looks most like a mech warrior.

    Had a really groovy soundtrack too - can't remember if it was CD audio or digital tracks copied onto the hard drive.

    I *think* there was a multiplayer option, maybe two-player cooperative on the same screen (same PC)

    I've had a look on Sierra's website, but can't find any mention of it, not that I was expecting to

    Ring any bells? I'm having a bit of a nostalgic gaming moment

    Cheers

    so it's a game with enemies and music?

    can you narrow it down even a little? setting? 2d/3d? any specific items in the game you can think of?

    Wayyyyy before NOLF, as I said, released mid 90's

    It's a 2D platform / side scrolling game.

    From what I remember, you had to clear out rooms (screens) and then progress onto the next one. There were some puzzles too which needed solving to continue progression. I think it required DirectX 3 to run LOL

    It had a very late 80's early 90's style to it, quite dark, much like some of the Sci-Fi films at the time.

    edit: the mech warrior thing, I mean it looked just like Ed209 from Robocop
