Tyrian. Vertical shooter with top-notch visuals for the time, a ton of secrets, good replay value and an amazing soundtrack (with a jukebox mode)
Typing "DESTROY" into the title screen unlocked like an entire new game with multiplayer and everything.
In fact the multiplayer in that game was great in general. One player on keyboard the other on mouse, and you could dock ships and have one steering while the other shot.
Excellent game, not just for its time
It was great. With crossover from One Must Fall: 2097 in there etc was cool but yeah the core mechanics including multiplayer fun live on. My favourite of those top down scrolling shooters.
