Who can identify an old arcade side-scroller with jump jets where you select planets to play on?

Question

I'm trying to identify an old arcade game, it was a side-scrolling shooter, you controlled a guy in a orange/red armored suit and your 'jump' was actually jump-jets, which allowed you to double jump.

The most distinguishing feature of the game was that at that start of it you had to select a planet, on which you would then land. There were several available choices, a jungle planet and a volcanic planet, amongst others. I seem to recall that one planet had a similar appearance to a bee-hive.

EDIT : I played it around the early nineties, although that might not be an accurate indication of age, since those coin-ops tended to hang around a bit.

Answer

I tried to google it again and this time I lucked out, the game I was looking for was Xian'd Sleena.

I found a thread where someone was looking for the same game here : http://www.coinopspace.com/forum/topics/can-anyone-help-name-this-game?id=2467396
