Can someone tell me the name of this SNES or NES game?

It was a top scrolling game where you were a flying a ship around.

I seem to recall it being similar to Legend of Zelda as far as how it's scrolling worked. With you being able to explore a fairly large area, but having to move through a door of some type to load a different area.

I don't remember exactly what the game was about, only that it was fun. Much of the objective seemed to be around collecting white orbs.

I wish I could give a better description, but I was awfully young when I played it.

    that sounds a lot like the game ' Zaxxon'

    there were lots of good scrolling games out there though....

    my favorite was raiden trad, followed closely by truxton/tatsuijin, then defender, and so on.

    there were so many great games, if you remember more details, weapon types/ patterns ie, straight shooting lasers, rapid fire bullets, or so on...

    or any colors of the plane... i can help even more...

    Oh also, you could always check out starfox, as it was a fairly heavily marketed snes flying game.

    if it was on sega genesis instead, the game ' herzog zwei' had that same style of scrolling.
