I'm looking for the name of an old game that was on the computers in my primary school (I'm 24), it was a free roaming vertical shootemup, you could fly to the end of the level and all the way back so quite unique in that respect.

It was a future setting if I remember correctly, I remember you control a red spaceship.

It was like any other vertical shooter but with backwards flying and total freedom of flight. It was also quite a tough game although might just have been my inpexerience of shootemups at that time that made it seem that way.

Thanks guys, any responses will be appreciated :)

I could be wrong here but, zaxxon?
 
Do you mean Spellbound? You flew a variety of different craft, one of which was a red helicopter, blowing things up and getting letters to spell the word. Would fit with being in a school too...
 
Im quite sure there wasnt a educational element to the game, someone must have just installed it and the un tech savvy staff not seen it
 
actually I remember now, I had left the school and I played it at a gala event of some sort.

so definetely no educational element whatsoever
 
the school did have acorn computers but I think the school had pc's with windows 95, and I think this game was running on windows
