I can't seem to post in the appropriate subforum. This was a really fun game I played a while back, but I can't seem to find it anywhere now.
Story: Aliens being attracted by some giant crystal which you eventually make it to in the last level. Then you need to defend the crystal for 30 minutes before it can be picked up.
Platform: I played it on PC, but for all I know it was emulated. 2D top-down, but I think you are able to see the characters' torsos, not just heads. Probably cartoonish.
Year I played it was approx 2000, but for all I know it could've been out a lot earlier.
You control: a human who can pick up items that call "Reinforcements" or "Air Strike" (outside)/"Infiltration" (inside). The latter of which would result in some explosions.
The reinforcing marines are AI-controlled, rather stupid, could be set to shooter mode or follow mode (I believe).
Other weapons: I think you also had grenades.
"Cheat"/feature: you could set the game for 4 players and set them all to the same key config, effectively quadrupling your personal firepower.
Enemies: Some kind of arachnid aliens, pinkish-tan. They spawned from nests which you needed to blow up.
If I could even find the name of the game, that would be a great help. Of course, a download would be a great bonus. Thanks in advance!
