Please try ~~this game~~ Tyrian (see comments for Open Tyrian 2000). It has such great gameplay, upgrades, killer music and graphics. You can play 2 players with one person on keyboard and another on mouse. It's great

It's a great time. Just don't try to make sense of the story in the campaign mode....

Do not play opentyrian.

Play opentyrian 2000. Its a more complete version. Like a director's cut, or final doom.
