Golden Age of Coin-Op Arcade trivia time!

What game involved a man flying 10-30 feet from the ground, into the scene on a kind of jetpac with a gun under his arm.

Hint 1: One of the first games to use sprite scaling extensively

Was this a side scrolling game where you can have 3 players? I've been trying to find out what game this was for months!

A VECTOR GRAPHICS game where you try to shoot through spinning concentric "Shield" rings protecting a spaceship in the center of the screen
Once you open a hole in the inner shield, the bad guy ship started shooting big scary-looking fireballs at you!

Screen Shot

I used to play Star Castle all the time. Ever noticed all the vector graphics were black & white and the different colored shields were just colored plastic stuck on the monitor faceplate?

btw, the kill level in Donkey Kong is 22, which is impossible to beat.
