Yup, you got it.  Really cool game too.  Contributed a lot of innovations to the 3rd person genre like cover fire and such.  Sadly, it wasn't widely played, but it was widely remembered well by those who did.

Eh, I'm not entirely sold on the cover thing, to be honest. The games that do it well become quite static as a result of it, and the games that do it badly are far more numerous.

Well, at the time it was completely new and well done.  It'd probably feel pretty dated if I picked it up now, but then it was a really neat experience and a heck of a lot of fun.

Its "Rush Attack II: Slut Shaming"
“Tiger got to hunt, bird got to fly;
Man got to sit and wonder 'why, why, why?'
Tiger got to sleep, bird got to land;
Man got to tell himself he understand.”

Oh. I know this one. I play this game at work all the time

Microsoft Power Point.

That's a shot from the "find appropriate clip art" minigame

Man got to sit and wonder 'why, why, why?'
Tiger got to sleep, bird got to land;
Man got to tell himself he understand.”

I've been giving my Google-fu muscles a serious workout, but so far no dice.

Little Big Adventure aka Twinsen's Adventure. Can't distinguish if it's the first one or the second one, they look completely identical.
