Hi fellow GOGers, I'm looking for some obscure DOS game, probably from the middle / end of the 80's, or the very beginning of the 90's at the very latest.
I'm 99% sure it was a DOS game, 1% it was a Win 3.1 game.

The game was some kind of capture the flag outside between 2 teams. The playground was some countryside. It was split in two halves, with each team beginning in its half. The goal of the game was to infiltrate the enemy's ground and capture their flag, then return it to its own to score a point, while preventing the opposite team to do the same.

Players could run, walk, stand and crouch. Running would improve speed, standing would improve the sight, while crouching would improve stealth. You could hide behind trees / bushes. Once an enemy player was spotted, you could try to catch him, which would return him to his half of the terrain, thus losing time.

The game was played from a top - down perspective, with very rudimentary graphics. It was turn based.
And of course, there were no weapons, no killings, no blood, no powerups. Only sport outdoor.

I already looked up mobygames for the game but I didn't find anything.

If you have any idea, I would be really thankful.

Thanks for reading.
Capture the Flag?

Yes, that sounds like Capture the Flag.
Indeed, that's it !

Strange I didn't find it. Maybe that's because the game has very few tags in their database. Only Strategy / tactics.
1993, the game is more recent than I thought.

Thank you !
I am looking for another game, but it's not a DOS game this time.

It was an old computer game of the middle of the 80's, probably on a ZX Spectrum, or another similar machine (not sure which one).
All I remember is that it was a 2D game (side view) where you play some kind of crazy scientist who could build and use strange devices (a vacuum cleaner which would allow you to fly for example).
The goal of the game was to save the earth from a collision with an asteroid, and at the end of the game, you would deviate the asteroid's trajectory with some kind of "bumper" (yeah, it sounds silly).

If you have any idea, you are damn good ! I looked at mobygames, but I found nothing.
