Ooohh, I remember that.  I used to play it on my 386.  My brother had
a hard time getting to the end boss (a huge ship about 10 screen lengths
it seemed).  Of course the sound was in pc beeps, but was pretty 
good back then.  And I have to admit the game was pretty fun
(remember the alien who was in the store where you could buy hearts,
awesome weapons and such).  That was a really good shooter too.
