ok so i used to have this nes (maybe snes) game and can't remember what it's called. you have a space ship and you go to different planets, going down in tunnels and caverns picking up fuel and supplies. sorry if that's vague but all i can remember.

I get tingles whenever Solar Jetman is mentioned.

I wish someone could help me remember another game on the NES. Each level had you flying in a ship. Basic horizontal shooter as I recall. Then the second half of the stages would always have you flying around in a space suit in some kind of structure, and you had a time limit to kill a bunch of enemies and do what you had to do then exit back out to your ship before the place blew.

I don't even remember if it was that great a game, but it just frustrates me to have some game from my childhood and have such a vague memory of it. If I hadn't sold all my NES games when I was young, I'd know what it is.
