A shmup with space ships, which I can't find anywhere. It's defintely for the NES and a horizontal shooter. I vaguely remember an ice world in stage 2 with destroyable blocks and a huge battleship on the later stages.
I've always thought it was R-Type, but then I found out that it was never ported to the NES. I played it in the 90s (PAL release), but I doubt that it was a pirated game.

Just did a search so here's a few that might be right:
Gradius
Lifeforce
Defender II
Abadox
Parodius
So yeah hope one of those rings a bell.

Sorry, but it's none of them. One thing to say: The stages were scrolling, not like in Defender 2 were you can move around like you want. And yeah, the player was definitely a common spaceship, not a guy in a suit like in Abadox or some wacky creatures like in Parodius.
All of them are also missing the ice world in the 2nd stage.

No problem, trial & error is not the worst idea to find a specific game.
@Maxim: Thanks, that's it =D
Brings back memories, this was one was fun to play, but also really difficult. Never made it past a certain boss.
