At least that’s about the time frame I recall. The protagonist is a person in a jet pack. From your POV, you’re looking at his back and various things are coming toward him. You can turn him right, left, up, down to combat them.
Each level had some title. The only one I can remember though was “Parms.” And there was an end of the game, something like 30 or so levels, and that was it.
The last foe was like a flying dragon that would come toward you, then retreat into the background, and come toward you again.
I could have sworn it was a SEGA game, but none of the names on their website look familiar.
