[Windows 95/98/XP][1995-2001] A 3D Space Rail Shooter
Like many of its genre, the objective of the game was to defeat an alien invasion using a lone space ship. You controlled your ship from a 3rd person view on rails, progressing through multiple stages defeating alien ships.
I can remember a few very specific details:
- The intro scene shows your spaceship being launched from a space station following a runway lined by floating lights.
- The game over scene shows Earth getting obliterated by a giant beam weapon.
- The first few stages were set in space, but some of the later stages starting from the 5th were set within Earth's atmosphere.
- One of the bosses was a machine that clung to the inside of a tunnel-shaped structure using its limbs, like the spokes of a wheel.
Games that are not it:
- Novastorm
- Descent
- The Hive
- Backlash
- Tailgunner
- Chaos Control
- Any Star Wars game
Thanks!

This has to be it. The Playstation gameplay doesn't look exactly as I remember, but I couldn't find any PC gameplay so that can easily be chalked up to a difference in the port. More importantly, all of the major details are 100% on point. Thank you!
