Hey, I think I found the game you're looking for - Jetmen Revival (released October 25, 2003).
I searched the internet for a very long time and in several attempts, even recently using AI, but neither the internet nor artificial intelligence could handle it. Luckily, I remembered a disk where I copied games from the MINI GAMES 2004 (or 2008) CD. Your post was the only one I found that described this game. I specially created an account on this forum to save others the ordeal and maybe still for you.
Have nice day!

Thank you for sharing this information, and welcome to the forums!

Here's the MobyGames page of this game, sadly no screenshots:

Perhaps you could provide some, if you still have that game?

UPD: Here's the developer's page (Wayback Machine):

I still have the game installed, but when I tried to install on Windows 11, there is only a black screen when I start. Maybe it still works on older systems.
I've uploaded the game to my google drive, so enjoy everyone! B)

Thanks for posting this. I'm guessing it's possible to tinker with either DG Voodoo or DX Wnd/Wrapper and get this to work. I got it to work partially on the former, but I don't know enough about what the settings mean to get all the way there. Also didn't get very far...not sure if it runs too fast on modern machines (or my aging brain runs too slow) but I couldn't control the ship at all. It's like Lunar Lander on steroids, extremely sensitive. I'm sure more skillful players would do better.
