a game from the dos/win 98 days about the same time as piranha, graphics like that, but with upgradeable ships/shields/weapons/genarators and the screen scrolled downwards as you flu (yes i know thats not the right spelling) along blowing up little tanks (purpel i think) and bunkers and mines and bosses.

U had to mission through a course (that you could choose) to save someone ( i think )

there was also a arcade mode (which i hated as the weapons updated as soon as you collected a upgrade icon, were as in the story game u got to buy upgrades as the end of each leave)

PLEASE HELP ME, i think it was shareware game, that u had to buy the extra levels for, as i remember downloading the free version and then having to buy the extra levels/story modes
