1st Person Shooter Shareware from Mid-90s

Hello,

This is going to probably be tough as there's probably hundreds of weird shareware games from that time.

I keep thinking about this shareware 1st person shooter game I had back in the day, that I never got to continue because of one reason or another. It's really bugging me, not sure if it's out there somewhere or anything any more.


Here's what I can remember/know.


I've ruled out the following games: Blakestone and Rise of the Triad.
I thought it might be an Apogee game, but now thinking maybe not.
I would say it had to come out around or after Doom II, because of technical requirements, I think you could look up and down, like Heretic/Hexen.
It was definitely Pixels and not full polygons.
There were quite a few outdoor areas in the game, light color scheme.
Futuristic with some weird weapons
I want to say you could choose between three characters or three weapons or something at the beginning
Also, I think there were either little shops or some way to upgrade your weapons.


That's about all I can remember right now.

It sounds very much like Zero Tolerance, except ZT wasn't shareware and didn't have weapon upgrade shops.

It looks like that game was only on Sega Genesis/Mega Drive. This was definitely a PC game, I'm pretty sure it was shareware as I completed the levels but there were more chapters I had to purchase.

It was set in a futuristic setting, but not dark like Zero Tolerance or Quake, it had more of a sci/fi-fantasy element to it.

You know, this game: CyberMage - Darklight Awakening, kinda strikes a cord, but the images don't really look right. I wonder if it's a game similar to this though, I'm still looking, I'm going to find out.

Still any suggestions are welcome.
