Cats do not abide by the laws of nature, alright? You don't know shit about cats.
Oh man. There was a CD my dad got us kids when we were younger, came with a bunch of game demos. One of my favorites was some sort of 3D pilot game where you flew a blocky ship slowly through a desert and destroyed poo poo. There were other ships and tanks trying to shoot you down, and you could find different weapons, like lasers and missiles.

One part I remember very clearly was a part where you flew through a giant Egyptian sphinx statue, shooting blocks and avoiding moving walls.

Anyone have any idea what I'm talking about? I'd love to figure out what game it was so I can find out if it ever became free/abandonware.

edit for clarity: For the longest time I thought it was Descent, but none of the screenshots I find of Descent look the same. Similar style though, but you could have your ship in first-person or third-person views.

There was this old Chinese warez cd back in the day (95 or 96 maybe?) that had this game where you rode around in futuristic motorcycles around a huge arena shooting other cycles. I remember the arena being huge with all sorts of obstacles and flips. The graphics were in 3d as well and I think it was playable online. Any ideas?

Sounds like DeathDrome to me. That was another of my favorite demo CD games.

I really want to say this is Fury3 or Hellbender, because I remember flying down tunnels and avoiding shifting walls and stuff, but I don't remember sphinxes.

After looking up Fury3 on Wikipedia, I can say it's the one. Thanks!
