Tip of my Joystick - Find games by describing it.

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.
