Hello guys, I've used to play this really old pc during my childhood, but I can't remember the title. It's more like shooting aliens in a labyrinth with squads of marine maybe. The one thing that I remembered until today is that when you shoot aliens, your character will say " eat metal". If you guys can help me find the name of the title, it would be a great help. Plus maybe GOG can start sell it.

Hmm more info please - is it first person, isometric, or some other view? Is it real time or turn based? do you directly control your squad like Doom or issue orders by pointing and clicking?
What do the Aliens look like - the Xenomorphs from the 'Aliens' series, 'greys' or what?
Off the top of my head I'm thinking Alien Vs Predator or Space Hulk, not sure if anyone said anything like 'eat metal' in either though...

My first thought was Space Hulk too.

Was it real-time or turn-based ?

Redneck Rampage had some alien shooting in the later levels.
X-com? You had a squad there, but they were silent.
Expendable? Tough soldier vs lots of aliens.
Need more details...

Sounds like it might be dogs of war?

"Eat metal!" is definitely Space Hulk.

If I remember right, a squad member would say it when their gun jammed and they took out a genestealer with their power glove instead.

If Redneck Rampage qualifies as "really old" I'm outta here! :P

I'm pretty sure that is Space Hulk - if you google "space hulk" "eat metal" you'll see that it's one of the lines your squad would shout.

Here's the mobygames page with some screenshots.

Good news is there's a new version coming soon :)

(edit: I'm well and truly ninja'd on this answer, please don't mark me as the solution as I was way too slow! :)

It's not old, but it has those nice old-fashioned 2D sprite enemies :)
