So its another one of those threads!

I have vague memories of this game in a friends house on a green monitor.

It was a game with a top down perspective and the area you were in had a canteen and maybe offices.

It wasn't like Mikie the Arcade game at all, this game *may* have been set in the future.

It wasn't Rambo 3 either, i think the objects/sprites were much smaller in the game than Rambo 3, so the field of view is much larger, so you can see more in each area.

I think you Could walk up to people in the area and talk to them, and your first task was to meet someone in a certain area.

All I remember is places like the canteen and offices in the level.

It was possibly inside a headquarters or aboard a spaceship.

You may have been a spy but I'm not certain

I know its not a lot to go on but does anyone have any ideas?

Cheers!

464 games later and I've came up short unfortunately:

Great to be able to play youtube vids at double the speed.

I was surprised to see some Arcade Ports like Final Fight on the system as well as games from on other platforms.

So far Laser Squad is the only thing that looks vaguely like what I'm imaging in terms of rooms you can walk into it.

It definitely wasn't a turn based strategy game though, and the sprites would have been smaller.

I don't think you started off with any weapons in the game, in fact there may be no weapons at all.

Chase HQ?

Or a View to a Kill, has top down, side scrolling a first person/isometric.

Is it fully top down or isometric?
Get Dexter?

Its full top down, a bit like laser squad but with simpler graphics.
There is no driving so its not chase hq.
It must be an obscure one to say i havent found it yet.

Rebelstar even looks closer to the game but I'm still pretty sure it wasnt turnbased.

Your description reminds me of Into the Eagle's Nest:

Although I only ever played the Commodore version, loved it too

Thanks for the help guys, I'm beginning to think it was Rebelstar afterall as its the closest thing that comes in mind to it.

I definitely just remembered it wrong I reckon.
