Ok, I remember it was an overhead view of a spaceship and you shot things that came from the top of the screen (like a space invaders view). When things died, sometimes they would drop little (C) copywright symbols that were cash, and you could buy weapons at the end of the level.
Please help me remember it so I can buy it!!

Could it have been Solar Striker?

I was thinking the same thing when I first read this but I don't remember the little cash things dropping.

Well this is going to seem crazy but the game you are describing sounds like a game that someone coded for the TI-89 calculator. I think it's called "Phoenix".

Yup, I had that on my TI89, and this game was VERY similar! Same idea!

And then it hit me. The game was Xenon... I think. Does that sound right?

Red x!
But I think that's the game, because it looks like there was no Xenon 1!
Now to find a copy....

In case you have a Sega Master, this is super cheap with super cheap shipping to match....
