Obscure Shareware DOS Game: Highway Hunter (1994)

Highway Hunter is a scrolling driving shooter by Safari Software (Makers of Line Wars 2 and Tyrian). It plays similar to a many space shooters like Major Stryker or Raptor: Call of the Shadows, except you're confined to a narrow banded road. It also has superficial resemblances to Spy Hunter (and a coincidental name similarity). At this point, Safari teamed up with Epic Megagames to distribute their games more easily, but this game is still not as well known as Tyrian. As you drive around shooting enemies, you pick up upgrades for your weapons and 3 different types of shields that protect you or do damage to enemies.

Story from the game itself:
"Five years earlier Axis of Allied Nations gained control over Earth. They immediately placed up terraformers to make life more hospitable for themselves. The downside? It is killing the human race. You were once a rebel, but you got caught and has been used as an engineer to build a new weapon for the aliens. The MASTER (Multi-Attack Super Turbo Energy Ranger). One day when oppurtunity strikes, you steal the MASTER and escape. Now it is time to do some serious payback."
