Hahaha.

Honestly I did wanted to play Tyrian for some time but could never get the hang of using DOSBox (when it was v0.73). After getting some helpful tricks to make it much more easier to use with v0.74, I've been playing some other DOS games too like Jazz Jackrabbit and Doom. I really to try to see if I can re-create some fighter ships of other shoot 'em up games with the Ship Editor (the Kamui from Kamui, Phoenix Mk-II from RefleX, and the RVA-818-X-LAY from RayForce/Layer Section) but it looks like a pain to use.
I didn't find 2 to be as bad as people make it out to be. The gameplay feels better than in the first, for one. The story is where most people don't seem to like it, but I was alright with it.
I can agree with that. BioShock 2 does feel more like an expansion pack to the first game, and the story felt shoehorned to me compared to the original, but I don't find it as bad as others say. One thing I will say that it really needed New Game+ like the first one did through DLC; there are tonics and plasmids late-to-end game that I wish I could carry into a new game to experiment and have fun with (plus I want to go back with overpowered weapons and destroy stuff) but alas 2K Marin didn't such a feature.
