Holy crap!!! This is most definitely the game I've been looking for all these years! It has the whole flying in space against a backdrop of stars, crash landing in a snowy crater-like depression, getting ambushed by an enemy while speaking on an intercom, and infiltrating an alien facility aspects, and the insane difficulty checks out too! Thanks a ton for digging this up, you've definitely made my day!
