Game name i cant remember

Ok this ahs been wrecking my head for about 5 or 6 years. i rented a game in about '96-'98 and i can not remember the name of it.it was an OK game but its just the principle of remembering the name.

it was a 3d style thing, i think the characters were kind of disformed looking, the first level was in a desert. i dont remember much about it.i remember a part in the desert level where i had to walk across this log, it was a bridge, and in 2 player you could press a button and the other person would teleport to you.

anyone know it? if i think of anything else about it i will post
