Interesting attitude. There is a free demo that can provide many hours of enjoyment.

I agree though. Any game that uses old technology, isn't 3D, and can run on an older computers is not worth investing in.
It has less to do with old technology and 3D than it has with complexity, fun and gameplay.

Personally, I finished Tyrian 2000, and almost finished Raptor in one sitting
Its just that when I played them originally I played them at my friend's house, and when I played them recenetly it was an abandonware version

I understand what you are saying. And it is certainly true that this game will not get anywhere near the time of play Dominions will.

But for those people who considered Tyrian 2000 the ultimate achievement in a 2D shooter game (like I did), this is better. Even if you just play the demo its a ton of fun!

Already it has an RPG feel (money = XP) and a strategic element in how you configure your ship. Certainly levels require different weapons kits in order to be effective.
I'm hoping to see the game advance even further in this direction.
