I remember an old space game where you fought other ships. You were
close to the screen and the enemies were farther away. Most of the
ships were the same but some things could generate ships. There were
also zones or quadrants, ranging from alpha to omega, or at least I
think it ranged that far. Can anybody tell me which game this is?

Why is a mushroom called mushroom? As usual, "Starblade Riven

Didn't the Darius series have different zones ranging from alpha to
omega?

I dunno. I'll go look up Darius. Are the battles as I described them?

The space battles sound like Star Fox to me.

Actually, I don't know, as I never played it on the SNES. It's just
that the name of the zones reminded me of Darius, that's all.

Except you don't move forward.

Do you know of any game that does this?

In this game, you're basically stuck on the front of the screen
shooting at a little guy way back. Also, there's carriers, which
produce the ships, and this one level where there's an invisible warp
point (Did I mention there were warp points that connected the zones?)
that hides a zone that contains a carrier.
