Buy SWIV and SILKWORM, two players can play at the same time, and they are
both great, at least as good as Battle Squadron.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Other good ones:

Z-OUT (two players at the same time option provided)
DATASTORM, ANARCHY, REVENGE OF DEFENDER (defender clones, all excellent)
R-TYPE
SIMULCRA (3d shoot'em'up, original, rather unknown but excellent: very fast 3D
	 action and big levels and good features)
BLOOD MONEY (Two players at the same time)
HYBRIS
XENON 2

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
TURRICAN 1 and 2: you can not miss these ones if you like arcade-quality
fast action games.

WHO TRIED DEFENDER 2 BY JEFF MINTER ? IS IT GOOD ?
