1 year agoMy preferred scrolling shooter was SWIV, which I had for my Amiga. I doubt that a lot of people know that one though, and it isn’t DOS. Never heard of Tyrian.
I’m just some geek.

Micro Machines and Raptor: Call of the Shadows deserve a mention as well.
I really enjoyed it as well. We had a demo of it on the computers in my school back in 95/96, and it was an absolute blast to play in multiplayer during recess. It had 3 multiplayer maps as far as I recall, but we only played one of them. The other two were too much of a maze, and you could easily spend a long time without seeing anyone even though the game was full.
As far as I recall it was inside a space station where there was one large central room, and two floors on the outside that were shaped like a 4-leaf clover where there were weapons and things like that.
The absolute best thing that you could do was to land a missile on someone. They were so incredibly slow!
