Hello friends,

Could you give me a hand please?

Few years ago I bought one of those PC games-related magazine with a CD included. Inside I found an interesting playable demo. Lemme tell you some details about it. It's as kind of a turn based strategy game, VERY similar to "Fallout" (realistic buildings, streets, cars, stairs). You are member of a space Marine team or something and the mission in that demo level was disarm bombs all around the block, usually hidden in trash cans and etc, within a time. In the process, this tactical group should engage heavly armed alien(?) gangs. I remember that you could arrange the unit, I mean, you could keep, for example, 4 soldiers waiting in a place and move another two to fight the gangs. They keep contact by radio and, once attacked, they said something like "under attack" an so on. Each team member could be equiped with weapons like M60 machine gun and RPG-7 launchers. You could find weapons and grenades in dead gang members and trash cans. Another detail is that a kind of alien vegetation, in a form of small pulsating tentacle-like tufts, is found everywhere. The Marine team and the gangs have no special armoury-like uniforms. There's another thing. I remember that sometimes I could take down the gangs firing in parked cars next to them. The explosion was enough to kill them.

 Any clue what this old game is? Thanks a lot in advance.

Unfortunately not. The characters of my game have no space suits/armoury (at least not in that demo level) and space vehicles. They look like humans. And the scenario is not futurist/spacial, but city scape, urban. Remember the trash cans where time bombs are usually hidden...

Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel

post apoc land scape, radiation mutated plants that look like tentacles, shabby armor to start, giant mutants, radiated humans that may have looked like aliens, standard issue machine guns and rocket launchers and there was always stuff hidden in trash bins.

Thanks for your interest, buddies.

Think in something along the lines of "Fallout" PC game.
Again, with human-like characters, urban scenarios (cars, buildings with fire stairs, trash cans, traffic lanes), conventional weapons (auto rifles, machine guns and rocket launchers) and hidden time bombs. The "Marine" team have no armoured space vehicles. They are foot troops. No laser guns and futuristic weapons, but pistols, AK-47, M16 rifles, M60 machine gun and RPG-7 rocket launchers, grenades. Dead gangs or Marines show no blood pools.

 I think so. Probably a game made with the same Fallout engine or something.

 Unfortunately not. It's more like "Fallout". No aliens. Gangs and Marines were humans.

I can't say for sure...maybe something in the end of the 90's until 2003 I think. The main thing to have in mind is that it's a demo level sold in a CD along a magazine, with Marines fighting alien or zombie gangs (all of them in human shape), and the mission was defusing hidden bombs in a time.
