Help to find a game please?

If anyone can rememeber. I'm trying to remember the title of an arcade platform (horizontal scrolling) game in which you controlled an astronaut and you had to shoot anything that moved in the screen (like Turrican for example) on the surface of an alien planet. There are many games like this one. But in the one I'm trying to find, before starting to move and shoot on the surface of the planet, you chose the planet you'd play in, by directing your spaceship (which was actually a cursor with a spaceship shape) to the planet you'd want to play.
It must have been in the late 80s early 90s.

Any help would be appreciated! Smile

Yeah! THAT'S IT!!! Thanks a million my friend! I was afraid it would be something forgotten but still hoped that someone could help. I never thought I'd get the answer right away! And even better, I didn't know it was available in Amiga!
I think the Arcade had more levels though but that's not the matter.

Thanks!

Yep it a classic i have seen my cousin get to the last hidden planet on this in the arcade and it is brutal, the game has other names `Xain d Sleena` and `Solar Warrior` but i have only ever seen the Solar Warrior version once ever here in UK.
