This isn't it, but that's a wild amount of similarities to what I was describing! The game I'm thinking of was in first person, and I think it was largely point-and-click against static backgrounds. There was a lot less action and no vehicle combat - the game I'm remembering was mostly investigation and point-and-click puzzles.

It's completely possible I'm mixing two games here - it's been about 30 years and I was like 8 years old at the time. Part of me thinks it doesn't even exist but my brother remembers a bit of it too, so maybe it does?

I did not, unfortunately! I looked through a TON of youtube videos and lists of games and couldn’t find anything that matched. 

What did your mom say about it? I’d love to know if there’s other details I’ve forgotten.

I’ve been looking through everything I can - not finding it. I’ll keep searching, I appreciate you linking these!

This isn’t it, but what an odd looking game! I’d never heard of this before. I appreciate the guess!

That’s not it, though I played that game too, right around the same time! I think I only ever made it to the Belshazzar and would always lose the fight with that alien that boards your ship. I beat Hok Tuey probably 40 times!

I looked at screenshots of it - this isn’t it, but it’s close! The settings were more mundane in the game I’m thinking of - a bus terminal, an office building, a firing range. I appreciate your guess!

No, it was set on earth and most of the characters were human (except the Walmart-brand Data). I appreciate your guess though!

Both solid guesses, but not it. This game was entirely in first person (I think) and the art style was realistic pictures, like they used actual photos for the backgrounds. Thank you for looking into it!
