Ok so all I can remember of this game I'm thinking of is extremely vague stuff, and to be honest I can't remember 100% if some of what I can remember was actually in the game or fabricated by my mind...
The main stuff I can remember is that it's a 2D RTS game with base building, it maybe was isometric. It's based either on Mars, I'm pretty sure its Mars, or at least another planet or possiblely somewhere like a desert on earth. But the ground in the game is dark-brown/redish in appearance. When the game starts or at least some 'mode' of the game you get a single vehicle to control, I'm pretty sure this vehicle is some kind of farming/resource gathering vehicle.
Then here's the other bits I think I can remember but maybe I've made them up, I think there were giant worm type creatures in the ground that tried to kill you. I also think the material you need to gather was some kind of yellowish crop material or something.
I remember playing it when I was a lot younger, and could never survive more than like 5 minutes, and just something the other day made me think of it and I can't for the life of me find it... Maybe its a real famous game and I just don't know it.
Reppage is due for whoever knows whatever it is I'm talking about!
