Best Sci Fi shoot'em up simulator of the 1990s!

Warning: Spoilers
You are the only surviving pilot of the Colition of Independent Planets' fighting force. The one who must save the Earth from the Bions, a race of Terminator-like warriors intent on destroying their creators. One space-fighter remains, the brand new and untested 'Hellbender'. With it you will have to destroy the Bions' weaponry and outposts on the planets they have infiltrated.

That's a brief outline of 'Hellbender', a game I've been playing regularly since 1999. Other games have come and gone but 'Hellbender' remains the one of which I never tire. There's always something different to be found on every level and in some ways the game gives the impression that it's alive. Yes, it's as if 'Hellbender' has a life of its own. Great graphics for the time, faultless operation and a wide vista of changing landscapes keep me playing it for many, many hours.

Use 'Wikipedia' to find out the history of the game and its antecedents. Unfortunately the game won't (to my limited technical knowledge) run on later platforms than Windows 98.
