Isn't bioforge the one where you are the cyborg and you have to get onto a experimental fighter at the end?

Iron Helix

"A rogue navy ship named Obrian poses a grave threat to humanity. A virus has wiped out its crew, but the threat of it using its Iron Helix doomsday weapon is still there. Using a robotic droid, you must explore the ship to work out how to shut these down." (text by MobyGames)

Yep, you play as some cyborg thingy that has to find out where the hell he is.

Damn, I forgot one of the most excellent space adventure games of all times:

RAMA

I just remembered it because Arthur C. Clarke died yesterday

Rest in peace Arthur!

RIP Sir Arthur

As for the game, how about Orion Conspiracy?

Any Ideas?

If you are okay with using a Commodore emulator, like winVice, and playing a C64 game with 16 colour 8 bit graphics, using free floppy image download files (called .D64's) easily found on the web, THE game that fits your description to a tee is Project Firestart. In it you are sent to an abandoned space ship to get some files and destroy it, as it seems a virus has got free. It is a sideways scroller with a vast eerie spaceship to explore - and early on, when you find a dead astronaut who has written 'Beware' on the wall - in his own blood - and the music starts, y'know you're in for a scary movie-like adventure/shooter!

That Project Firestart actually reminds me of System Shock (PC) a bit. I wonder if the latter took few bits from the former years after.

Scatty, all games copy earlier games they say - but yes, I am sure System Shock and Orion Conspiracy and other games mentioned above all took a little bit from Project Firestart!
