Gender Wars PC game video
Footage of Gender Wars game developed by SCI in 1995. It's a isometric shooter similar in style to syndicate unfortunately it suffers from a few issues with the AI getting stuck on corners and objects, meaning often your team mates require a lot of micromanaging to get them to follow you.
