Looking for a sidescrolling shooter
Long ago I played a futuristic sidescrolling shooter. The most unique thing about this was that as you moved up and down, you would flicker between the regular playing area, and a completely empty void. Thus, if you kept still in the void, you could pass through obstacles in the normal area. I don't really know if this was a normal feature of the game, of if it was due to a bad copy.
Let's see, what else can I remember... At least in the beginning of the game you would fly in a cave. There weren't many enemies, but there was a catch: you had to completely destroy the waves that came at you to proceed, otherwise the area would loop over. After a while you would fight a big dragon-like enemy made of fire. And I think that's about as far as I ever got in the game. |

It would help if you can think about which year you played this.

1993, maybe. That probably doesn't help narrow it down much.

Disposable Hero is a horizontal shootem'up from 1993, it started in a cave IIRC, but there were tons of enemy waves.
also you could take a look to DNA Warrior, which is an old game from 1989 also with a cave as first stage. |
