Anybody know of any 2D isometric cow abduction games from the 90s? Trying to identify one i remember playing. The goal was to abduct the cows with out getting shot down the farmers.

Ha, I remember this. I played a demo of it at the time and for some reason it stuck with me. Can't remember the name though, I'll see if I can find it.

Which platform? DOS? Windows? Console?

It was definitely some shareware Win9x game from ~1999. It was essentially an arcade action game, I remember it very vividly for some reason.

EDIT: I think I've found it. It's Crop Circles: Escape from Planet 3.

Maybe it was inspired by South Park.

That's the one if I was envisioning when the OP mentioned it. Never played it, but for some reason I remember it upon seeing the screenshots, haha. Maybe I was abducted and my memory was erased.. 😵
