Glideneye 😀 i'm intrigued anyway, you'd have to start looking through mobygames and so on for genre and year and maybe beginning 'ar'.

a search like this, maybe: https://www.mobygames.com/game/from:2000/genr … y_score/page:1/

let us know if its found!

my guess would be X Operations

ChatGPT suggested ActionCube/AssaultCube, but that looks way too good imho. The Cube engine is actually pretty nice. The "worst graphics of all time", "worst shooter of all time" quotes made me think of this one... Pretty sure that's not it either because if you had played it you'd probably remember it for... different reasons. Still, if the general graphical style fits, looking into other games powered by the Genesis3D engine may be worthwhile. Unfortunately the G3D forums appear to have been wiped some time back, complicating research a bit...

I vaguely recall discussion on another site at the time, a lot of jokes about it, but I think it was in one of those Milliways type "lounge" sections where it was common to have a rolling month or two deletion policy for not wasting storage on the BS early in the noughts. But I didn't download it myself, so only heard of it by reputation really. It is possible there were very early youtube vids on it, but trying to get anything older than 10 or 15 years to come up on youtube is a challenge in itself.

I did play the Cube- related games around the same time, primarily Cube2/Sauerbraten, but those are AAA masterpieces in comparison to X Operations

OMG. This was a released game? Looks terrible. Kind of like something you'd expect from someone learning to make their own 3D engine and making a demo to test it. Looks to be made by someone that has technical skills, but no graphical, animation, level design or sound skills.
