Older PC game I may have imagined!

I'm about to give up on this one b/c I don't think even Flynn knows what I'm talking about hence I may be imagining the whole thing. It was a demo I downloaded (95,96,97?) that looked A LOT like Solar Winds (perspective, portraits, gameplay) where you played a law officer buzzing around in your little ship taking in and out baddies. Think you even had a siren you had to use (a siren in space!?!?). Also there was an asteroid belt you had to enter periodically when on chase. I vividly remember the demo closing with your character getting blasted to pieces and coming back rebuilt as a cyborg. It was about then the game stopped and told you to buy the rest. If no one here knows it, I've obviously dreamt the whole thing.
Thanks

Hi TinyE,
What exactly was the setting like? Only in space?
Some suggestions that I found that match parts of your description and are all from around '95.
* Hunter's Law
Other (space) options:
* Star Rangers
* Star Crusader
Hope you will find your game soon

It wasn't any of those and I'm feeling a little bad about possibly having sent someone out on a wild goose chase. Oh, and it was all in space.
All is not lost. This quest has got me playing Solar Winds again and that game is a classic. You can keep your Freespace, give me SW!

Solar winds was a milestone game. Superb.

Space 1889
Space Ace
Space Commanders
Space Crusade
Space Federation
Space Harrier
Space Hulk
Space Invaders
Space Miner
Space Nomad
Space Quest
Space Rogue
Space Station
Space War
Spacewrecked
Oh yes .. Solar Winds

WOW
Talk about above and beyond the call.
I'll jot these down and check them out tomorrow, it's getting kind of late here.

Thanks Again!

No dice, but thank you. It wasn't a total loss as some of those titles look really cool. Thanks

I even looked for you for the past couple of days but I couldn't find anything close to what you're looking for tinyE. Sorry bud, wish I could have found it for you.

I've been looking also, but no luck as of yet. I'll keep the description in mind and if anything turns up, I'll post an update.
