I can't remember much about this game to be honest. It was on the NES. In it you were a person in a red space suit that looked like something out of bubble gum crisis, it was a forced side scroller, which meant the screen moved on its own, and you floated having freedom to move up and down. Your enemies as I remember were robotic, and the ones I can invision were diamond shaped. I believe you were on a space station or an astaroid of some kind, but the levels looked machanical. The cover art was the person in the red space suit floating down a hallway of some kind. If anyway can help me remember the name of this game, id really appriciate it. Thank you.

I don't know much about NES games outside of the ones I own and sadly that isn't one. Sounds fun though. Now when you say NES game, I'm assuming you mean a ROM, to be played with an emulator on your computer? Because if you mean finding a physical NES cartridge then good luck to you.

Yeah, you could download a ROM, but those are entirely illegal.

...or possibly Air Fortress? I remember that game as a child also. One of my favorites. Sort of Metroid-like... in a way.

Only if you don't own the original cartridge and keep the rom for more than 24 hours :-P.

WRONG. Roms are 100% illegal regardless of whether you own the original cart or not. To get the ROM, you have to reverse-engineer the cartridge in order to dump its data. Meddling with the code is illegal, therefore owning a ROM is illegal... Having a ROM in your computer for 2 minutes is just as illegal as having it on your computer for 24 hours.
