Hi everyone !

There's an Arcade game I used to play as a kid but never managed to find or play again. It was a Sci-fi side-scrolling action game. You wear a sort of space suit (red if I remember well) with a helmet and had a laser gun. At the beginning of the game, you could pick a planet to land on. There are some random elements I cleary remember, such as giant flowers on the ground of a 'Jungle planet', and another planet had a sort of giant pyramide...
That's about how much I remember about the game... not much really... thanks in advance for your help, it'd be awesome to play this game again !!!

I ripped most of the music from this game a while back (including the space missions - had to learn how to play the mission without firing/hitting anything, which is easier than it sounds). Pretty good.

The performance seems pretty crap given the processors, though - Devestators used only a single CPU of the type that Xain'd has two of, I *think.* Should check that again.

This game would be a real classic if it had better aiming. I just can't stand vertical aiming via jumps only. Also, as I recall there was really only one or two patterns for the space stage, as well, which is rather poor.

This game used to pop up all the time (in my area) in what seemed like the nastiest conversion cabinets, using having a marquee that said "New Game" or something as generic.
