There was an NES game that was initially intended to be a Terminator game, but license expired before it got released, so the dev/publisher chose to make some alterations and release it with a different name.

I think it was called Alien Syndrome.

that's my guess

Edit: Nope, Alien Syndrome was a Sega game that also got a release on the NES (via Tengen). Not the game I'm thinking of and not the answer here either.

Actually, I should clarify that Alien Soldier was also released in PAL, and was released in the US only as a Sega Channel limited-time offering. The JP version of the game is just more expensive than the PAL version because who wants to play vidya with a PAL refresh rate? 🤢

Could be a DOS game, so it must be Dostoevsky.

Alright nerds, here's your hint: it's a sequel
Dostoevsky 2.

Looking at the player UI, I am actually convinced it is just some AI slop and not actually a real game at all

Oh it looks cool as all hell
It's impossibly unforgiving! You don't know which level to start on! The bosses are bullshit! Until you realize that there are SECRET SUPER SUITS in each level that sort of trivialize subsequent levels and bosses.

Most people like the first game a lot more since it's more approachable and forgiving.

If you have the POWER, maybe you can figure out the name of this game.

Ok, I've got two pretty obscure driving/racing games. First one is the one for the game. Second one is a bonus to see if ANYONE besides me has seen/heard of it.

Hint: Name of the game takes two elements from what you see in this screenshot.

It was a brutal game to complete
Subtle, but you got it. I actually thought that one was going to be more obscure but that was pretty fast.

95% sure I had it for Sega Mega-CD.

EDIT: Huh... I didn't even notice that the UK release might have just been called "Paws of Fury" without using the "Brutal" title. You still got it though.

Anyone willing to take a stab at my second game, for fun?

Reminds me of Bloody Roar. Those were all fun.
There is a crummy early fighting game where fighters turn into beasts that predates Bloody Roar. I think it was a Mortal Kombat clone. I'll look for it. (No, I'm not thinking of Primal Fury).

In regards to Brutal Paws of Fury, you're always an animal. It's also supposedly pretty bad.
