#47 Tyrian
Being one of the few shooters I like Tyrian also was the only non-education game that for some reason was installed on the school computer. With a cool generator system and a lot of very different weapons as well as being able to buy and sell at will between levels Tyrian became my benchmark for any scrolling shooter going forward. Collecting money on the level and spend it to upgrade the cheapest weapon to the max just to see how it looked is something I miss in pretty much each other shooter I try.
Secrets like the carrot ship, hot-dog weapon and hidden levels mad it fun for revisits. And the harder difficulty levels are brutal and demands not only how to avoid enemy fire but where to focus own fire in order to get any kills. Even the story (for at least the first 4 episodes) is a cool sci-fi drama with a touch of humor and humanity rarely seen in other games of the genre.
