Game like Brigador, but from early 2000s/late 90s, with a hoverbot
I am looking to identify a PC game which I played around late 90's to early 2000s, somewhat similar to the new game Brigador, which is in steam early access now. But whilst Brigador is having a mech as the playable character, the game I had used to have a hovercraft kind of robot/vehicle. It used to have a story line, like you are infiltrating a police state, and you shoot up things in the city, but you got to hide from patrol police bots. Also the action used to take place in daylight, instead of in the night as ib Brigador.

Anyone has any hints on what game it might be?

Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gulielmus estavius (talk • contribs) 16:49, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Per the Wikipedia article titled Brigador, there are several similar games so noted. Do any of these match what you are looking for?  If not, Wikipedia has Category:Mecha simulation computer games which may also be helpful. -- Jayron 32 17:11, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
 * The Wikipedia article mentions Syndicate and Mechwarrior, and those are not the game I was looking for.Gulielmus estavius (talk) 18:30, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I want to suggest Hover! but I don't think that game had a plot of any sort. Was this game also a real-time strategy/real-time tactics game? FrameDrag (talk) 20:40, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Neither Hover nor FutureCop. Once characteristic though, the game was isometric.Gulielmus estavius (talk) 18:57, 17 November 2015 (UTC)


 * "Police", "hovercraft", "isometric" and "PC" leads me to UFO: Extraterrestrials at GameFAQS. But you didn't mention aliens, so I'm skeptical. InedibleHulk (talk) 20:06, November 17, 2015 (UTC)
 * It's also a bit too recent, I think. InedibleHulk (talk) 20:08, November 17, 2015 (UTC)
 * And UFO: Enemy Unknown is a bit too early. InedibleHulk (talk) 20:14, November 17, 2015 (UTC)
