Why do you think I still play that rather than Raptor? Music is half the fun ^_^ I'm still waiting for Tyrian to be ported to the PS3, or at least for DOSBox to actually become useful... rather than the broken bag of shite it is right now.

You could choose both. Also a remake was made years later.
Always played the chopper:)
Tiger mission on the C64 was quite epic too.
