    A PC game called Iron Helix. I was really young when I got it and it has already been out few years at that point so I’m pretty sure it was a discount re-release I found in a bargain bin.

    Back in the FMV craze of the nineties, it was one of the better titles. It’s an incredibly tense cat-and-mouse game, kind of like a 3D Pac-Man. You control a scientific research probe navigating a drifting deep-space battleship in an attempt to prevent it from autonomously attacking a peaceful planet, all while trying to work out what happened to the crew and deciphering the clues they left, and the whole time you are being hunted by the ship’s security robot with nothing but a chiming proximity sensor letting you know when it’s approaching. Brilliant game, super tense.
