There isn't any wireframe-type graphics in this one (I don't think), but it's a take-off (um, pardon the pun 
) of Thrust though.
As I do a search for "vector graphics" on YouTube here and there over the months, a video came up for this today, which I was like "oh, really?", seeing that you must fly around in caverns and beam up boxes and such and leave planet surfaces with them (sound familiar?).
There are some kind of power-ups such as being able to shoot in several directions, some kind of wall destroyer thing, and more; I've only just tried out the first two levels real quick and that was it; I'll give it a bit more of a go later. They're like the first level on the Atari 2600 game of H. E. R. O. where you just descend a little and the box is there to pick up, then you fly right back up. One level later, though, seems to be underwater, as there's a BUNCH of mines floating around, making escape rather risky in either dodging them or tedious spending a lot of time shooting them before going down for your cargo. It's also somewhat like Sub-Terrania for the Genesis (said to be a modern Thrust but I don't really agree) where you're able to land and it won't destroy your ship. You land next to cargo and--kachunk--a tether attaches itself to what you need to fly off with. Neat!
There's some cool backgrounds and all and a promo said it'd keep you busy for a while, so it could have many more individual levels than Thrust (not counting repeating the original ones, only with reverse gravity and such; this one has at least nine levels that I'm aware of).
More later...
The game can be played here.
