Clue 2: Appeared on Spectrum and Amiga (and related platforms as well I suspect), which tells you the rough time frame.

Actually this is right!!!!

That really does deserve 4 exclamation marks (I've not turned into Raz), since I unwittingly Duked and gave a false clue. But Guynemer is just too good.

The clue should have read Amiga and PC.

Nothing? Oy.

#6: You can toss grenades, lay bombs, or shoot a laser that bounces off walls. Luckily, you can not harm yourself with the laser, as sometimes you'll need to shoot yourself to eliminate the most primitive type of geneticly-engineered enemy.

It's the Amiga thing that worries me. What you're desribing sounds a lot like a System Shock/Half-Life/Bioforge type game, though obviously none of those.

Nope.

#7: The game is played from an isometric third-person perspective.


And this clue is damned near a giveaway--

#8: There are four types of enemies, products of a genetic engineering experiment gone awry. The title of the game is the name of the fourth, most advanced type of enemy.

Nope.

#9: The action takes place in the Genoq Biolabs skyscraper in Singapore. You, a courier, land your jetpack on the 80th floor, and must reach the 89th to deliver your mysterious package to the chief scientist, Derrida--the package is the only chance to eliminate the rampaging creatures that have taken control of the building.

#10: The most primitive type of artificial lifeform you encounter appears to be a simple, bouncing red ball. It can become invisible and envelope you, leaving you only seconds to bounce your laser off a wall and destroy the creature from the outside.
The second generation is a wiggly blue cylinder that disappears into the floor, and can stomp you flat if you do not pay attention to where it disappeared.
The third type of enemy is far more sinister, a shapeshifting creature that can take the form of civilians or ordinary objects common to the building. It is immune to your laser, and must be destroyed with grenades.
As for the ultimate artificial lifeform... that's another story all together.

Ah, I understand the spelling now, and that earlier clue. When you hear the name of the game you don't make the connection.

If anyone wants to jump in and do a game before I think of one then feel free. I've done sooo many it's hard to think of games that people will get.

If you don't mind, I'll take a special one:

I don't know the title of this game, so I hope you know it (and I remember it when I see it)... I'll make the clues as easy as they can be...
In the meantime someone else could do a proper one
The gameinfo will come in the next post...

In this turn based game, there were 4 players, on a small grid map (The whole map is on the screen)
At the bottom of the screen there was a "clock", which was just an animation of the sun goes up in one side, and down in the other side... when the sun is down, the time for that turn is over...
During the turn you could (IIRC) build new imporvements on the land, or you could buy something in the stores.. I don't remember anything about war

Does anyone know a game like this?
