It could be Psygnosis' Carthage, an action strategy game with some chariots in it...

Removed screenshot, it will be in the AGD

Cody, once again you have provided the right picture for the game I am after.

I really thought it was a race game or something like that. I have heard about Carthage but never played it. Is it any good?

Well, according to Amiga Power:

Excellent graphics and some nifty arcade sequences, but underneath it's a distinctly average strategy game. Despite appearances, not one for the joystick junkies out there.
3 / 5*

Hi Cody,

Sorry for my late reply.
I just found a review of Carthage in gamesmagazine Zzap! Issue 70, Februari 1991. The review features no decent screenshots which may be the main reason I did not recognise the game.
Its combination of arcadegame and strategical reminds me of another Psygnosis title: Obitus -Another title I have never played.

Despite getting a low mark, I will try to run Carthage for its nostalgia value. It seems that the older software gets, even crap titles turn out to be good.
