Trying to remember what this old game was called..

I recall playing it on my Windows 95 or 98 as a kid.

It was a first person 3D game where you would pilot a small spaceship like robot into a series of... space station rooms?
Flying the robot was complicated as I recall, and a bit of a pain, I am fairly certain you had to solve puzzles while shooting other flying robots.
Most levels usually had some sort of boss.

I remember sometimes having to fly through small metal tunnels in the levels, and I am pretty sure if you collided with the walls to much you would damage yourself and explode.

Lastly, I think the game name started with a "D"...

Reminds me of Descent, before you even said the 'D' bit.

Sounds exactly like Descent.

 

[Jintor]

Possibly "Terminal Velocity", but more likely to be Descent.

 

[Sulkdodds]

Descent, Descent II, Descent III, or Forsaken.

 

[BabyHeadCrab]

Sounds like Super Smash Brothers to me

yep

 

[MJ12]

Ahh, Descent, yeah, that's it alright. Thanks.

Wasn't that the 1st space ship game to ever work in total 3D. All i remember of it was everyone always getting stuck in a corner not knowing which way up they were.

There's homebrew that lets you play Descent on the DS of all things. Almost seems like a random choice, even if the game is a forgotten gem (like someone thought they wanted to make a PC > DS conversion of something, and went with whatever would give them the snappiest project name).

Ice and Fire?!?!

Ah, I love Descent.... but hate that it took 10 years for me to find out that the Save function was on one of the F keys (it wasn't on the menu screen).

I work with a guy who worked on Descent.

I had so many great memories of Decent, then about two years ago I found a CD lying around the house. Damn that game was far shorter than I had remembered.
