Speed Hawk (1988)

As a direct descendant of the legendary hero Speedhawk, it is your task to stop them by infiltrating their motherships and destroy the mutant guardians (which serve as bosses) at the end of each level. Hostile space fighters and turrets will try to protect their motherships, but if you manage to destroy a space fighter it might give you a power-up. But be warned as they can also be shot and will be destroyed. They also might fly away if you don't collect them in time.
