Total Nuclear Annihilation (TNA). It has a 3 different multiplayer options: regular-style every-man/woman/child for themselves, 2 vs 2 "team" mode, and cooperative multiplayer mode for 2-4 players where everyone works together to try to destroy all 9 reactors. In that mode all progress and scoring is shared, but the ones digit for each players display is used to indicate how many reactors that player destroyed. Excellent light show, pretty straightforward ruleset. Might scratch the itch for something both old school and modern. Plus the soundtrack and audio is excellent, imo Super addictive gameplay, and it's sure to be a hit with the kids from some of the stories I've heard. It can be fast and brutal but there's plenty of options for lengthening ball saves etc.

It's on my very short wish list at this point, and i can't wait to own one myself someday! Probably gonna run between $6-7k used, possibly a bit less.

Good luck on the hunt!
