Alright, I don't remember all the details of this game, but here goes. It was a sidescrolling shooting game where you control this army guy (I think) using a variety of weapons against mostly humanoid enemies (grey ninja-like enemies, I believe). One of the things that I remember most about the game is that you could gib most enemies (and possibly squish their remains again by walking over them) and with a lot of mini-bosses, blowing them up would leave a smoking pair of boots in their place. There was also a section of the game where you control a small submarine, if I recall correctly.

The game must have been made at some point in the 90s. I know I played it before the turn of the millenium.

Oh yes, and it was PC game. I'm guessing made between 94-98, based on what I remember of the graphics.

It's not Contra. The characters were a lot bigger and more detailed, the screen more zoomed in, there wasn't nearly as much jumping, no multiplayer (I don't think) and the colours were a lot darker in general. Thanks for giving me something to compare it to, though.

No, no, it wasn't one of those semi-bullet hell games with big, colourful shots flying everywhere. You'd only be fighting a couple of enemies at a time, and the characters looked like actual people, not chibis or anything.
