I highly recommend the Alien Armageddon mod on moddb. All the original levels are retouched and everything is just a little bit better while keeping with the spirit of the game.

Tyrian ruined all other shunps for me. Fucking love this game.

I have a free version from GoG on pc. There’s also a free android port on the play store but… Meh.

“Do awesome things”

HE MEANS HIS FEET ARE REALLY WIDE

Not “everyone”, but Ion Fury and Streets of Rage 4.

For both - the gameplay is perfect, the art is beautiful, and the music is amazing. Both games are masterworks that accomplished exactly what they set out to do.
