It could even be a youtube video or movie that you don't think anyone reading this has heard of besides you.

All from the early 90's...

Life and Death II: The Brain - An old DOS medical game

Deadlock: Planetary Conquest- a competitive SimCity-like game

The Dagger of Amon Ra - A point and click mystery adventure game

Edit: added subtitle to Deadlock and video links

Competitive SimCity? How does that work?

Vague memories myself but I think I also remember a friend having it and would also be fair to call it related to something like civilization or master of Orion as a 4x type. Would have to go check it out again to see if I'm right or just mixing memories with other games we played around that time.
