Hi all,

I'm actually going crazy looking for an old game, it came on a pcgamer demo disc (around 96-99) and I think it was called "scrap". It had very simple shading 3d, and you could call helicopters and tanks and stuff out of your fortress. I never heard whether the game finally went retail, and have been looking for it for ages. As you can guess, a name like "scrap" tends to bring up everything under google.

Any info on this would be greatly appreciated! (I'm not sure how many people even played this!)

Thx!

Did it have an Egyptian theme to it? If so maybe you're looking for Scarab you can see some screenshots at Gamespot

They also have a demo of the game for download but being it's for an older game no idea if it would run on XP

unfortunately thats not it, it was a much older game, no textures or anything;;
i believe the menu screen had a bunch of corporate logos and they were talking about how corporations were fighting each other or something;

thanks for the reply tho!

Haha, this is similar to when I was trying to locate a game called 'Machines' 6 months ago... Let me tell you typing 'Machines' into google isnt exactly helpful either. I finally found the game for sale on Ebay with a search command like this:

"+Machines -terminator -micro -time -future -cuttlery -watch -kitchen -megaman -mp3 -console -garden" and there were a few other terms I shouldn't be saying here...

Anyways, good luck. I feel your pain.
