Hello,

I try to find a game and I keep squeezing my brain for about 2 weeks but without success.

What do I remember from the game:

Game type: isometric mech arcade shooter

Main character: an orange mech

Control: keyboard + mouse

When you started the game you had to choose a planet from the solar system to play

I played it in 2003

I was playing on a pentium 4

From the searches I did I found 3 similar games:

Brigador

Antraxx

Mechwarrior 3050

Help pls!

I'm searching for something similar, did the game You are trying to find have orange icon? Also, I remember that the mech could transform into flying form, and that You could also shoot people, not only other machines.
I was playing it around 2000/2001 I believe.

Unfortunately, I don't remember the icon. From what you say I think we are talking about different games.
From what you tell me it makes me think of the following games:
BEDLAM 1,2 DOS
Full Metal Jacket 1,2 DOS
FUTURE COP: L.A.P.D. Windows

MobyGames has a large and unwieldy list of Mecha / giant robot games, but maybe it's worth a shot.

Cool, it seems to be a free game, and the video is from the Beta release, but there is a v1.0 also, and it's not listed on Mobygames (yet).
(The devs site ingava.com seems to have disappeared just as this game came out, I guess free games don't make a profit in the long run)

Thanks for telling us! That's one very cool looking game! Somewhat reminded me of Full Metal Jacket but with pre-rendered isometric graphics.

It looks like ingava.com was just a free game aggregator site. The game's title screen names a certain Mark Aufderheide as the developer, and here it is stated that the game was created with Clickteam's Multimedia Fusion 1.2.

The game can be also downloaded here and here.

Thanks for locating it, I'll make a submission at MobyGames for it.

PS. @MrFlibble: your first link shows a trailing 'equal' sign attached to it, not sure if it's just my browser or something else.

I must have made an error when pasting the URL and accidentally put it before the equal sign instead of after it. This is now fixed, thanks for pointing it out!

BTW, the version of phpBB here allows for proper mentioning by username, except not via the @, but like this: [ref]username[/ref], e. g. Rwolf (or you can just left-click on the user's name under the avatar and select "Refer by username" from the dropdown menu).
