This community is to find that game you can't remember. Like it's on the tip of your tongue.

If you want to post, use this syntax: [Platform][Estimated Year] A short description of the game.
Example:
[NES][1980]A man jumping on mushrooms

You can add a longer description in the Body. Preferably according to the template in the rules.

If your game is found, change the title by adding [Solved] in front of the title, and the game name. For example:
[Solved][NES][1980s] Super Mario Bros.
If you're not sure about any of the details you can add [Unknown] instead.

Rules:

  1. One game per post
  2. Mark your post if it's solved according to the above syntax
  3. Try using this template when posting:

Platform(s):

Genre:

Estimated year of release:

Graphics/art style:

MODERATORS
 

Platform: PlayStation 1
Genre: Arcade shooter?
Estimated years of release: 1997-1999
Graphics/art style: I think it was 3D, third-person? Not sure as I don't recall seeing many screenshots/images from the game.
Notable characters: n/a
Notable gameplay mechanics: something to do with a timebomb/time pressure to get through levels/stages.

Other details: I don't remember all the details, as I found it when looking through a video game shop site's lists, but I remember it wasn't Descent Maximum as I had that at the time.

It seemed almost like the idea was similar to the escape sequences from that but a whole game built around that time pressure.

Forsaken was pretty similar to Descent.
