FOUND! Page 2
It may have been titled 'genome' something like that. I can't find anything via google myself.
It was possibly a first person shooter with puzzles, or it might have been just an overhead view. It had different rooms and It was set in the future/space. It had bright colors mostly teal and purple if I remember correctly, but it was obviously only on a limited color palette (like 24 or 36 colors).
You basically went around picking up keycards, doing things in the correct order, timing movements between attackers, rigging traps?, bouncing lazers off walls, etc.
I played it a lot and I think the goal was to get up through the levels of a bldg to do something (save someone/ stop evil plot/crazy scientist). I don't think I ever actually beat the game, but I got close. I must've played it when I was like 8-10 years old which would make it 1992-1994 (but the game could have been even earlier of course).
Anyone played it?

I remember playing a game thats sounds very similar to that. It was an overhead view, rather than first person, and each level was layed out in a sort of grid format. There was outside levels as well as inside levels. I remember robots and lasers as well as sort of plant like villages?

thought of crystal caves too at first. but i kinda doubt its what he has in mind

yea I dunno if that's it, but I lol'd at this
On October 24, 2005, 3D Realms (formerly Apogee) released a maintenance patch to fix a bug in the game which set the player's computer's clock backwards 100 years after playing on Windows XP. As the game was released 14 years and one day earlier, 3D Realms may now hold the record for longest time between an initial game release and a maintenance patch. [3]

definitely was thinking a grid format, like move in 1 direction U,R,L,D at a time. I think there were outside rooftop levels, don't remember plant levels though. I could be wrong though.

The game I'm thinking of definitely had an evil scientist type enemy. It was a kids type game, and I remember my dad got it for me at the same time with Carmen Sandiego. Gah, can't think of the name of it though.

If it's an early 90s released it may be legally available online on an abandonware site.. Many games of that era have been released by the publisher for free distribution.. so I would start with a search of those sites.
Just kind of search the genre you think it's in until something looks familiar.

yea i searched a couple I came up short. got any good sites you know of?
I don't think it was http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Quest

Definitely not Space Quest from your description, since that was an adventure game. I thought of Bio Menace, which is another Apogee/3D Realms game. But it is a side scroller, not a grid game.

If your memory of the colours is right then it's probably Chip's Challenge.
