I recently played an amazing DOS game where you have your country and you can declare war or peace with other ones, and i really enjoyed it. Growing up one of my favorite DOS games was Gobliiins 3, such cool memories!

Tyrian was great! And also Tyrian 2000 which I was able to play somewhere. Maybe Gametap or some similar service. I remember trying it out as shareware (I think) and thinking it was Epic Games' best published shooter to date. Still holds up, imo.

I loved the upgrades and the fact that you had a health bar instead of a 1 hit kill. Plus all the stuff you said.

Tyrian's data was made freeware, and a modern open-source reimplementation that can use the data was done.

On Debian Linux, it's in apt as opentyrian.
