Tip of my brain: Old computer game I played on PC in 1989/90

June 14, 2018 6:29 PM

Looking for the title of a strategy/action/combat combo game. Three different types of units, each with a different "mini-game". I remember a jeep that was a forward scrolling object dodging game and an anti-aircraft unit that was a Missile Command-style shooter. The third might be a tank of some kind. At the top level was a map where you moved these units around and attacked enemy units, triggering the mini-games. Help me get this out of my head by giving it a name.

Final Conflict?

No, sorry. The Missile Command bit wasn't that close to Missile Command. Think more like Cabal, but without a guy moving around. You control crosshairs and try to shoot down approaching aircraft.

Beach Head?

No, sorry. No boats or coastal stuff.

Thanks :)

Probably not it, especially because perspective is different (though it did use both top-down and side-scroll): Flightmare? Maybe it'll twig you or someone else to the right one...

No, sorry. It wasn't an arcade shooter sort of thing. Bits were arcade-y, but it was also a "move units around a map" strategy game.
