    I played this game a while ago, absolutely loved it. Lately I have heard it is possible to do co-op with it and so I have to get it.
    On Ebay UK I have seen it going for around £30 ($60) which is quite a lot for an old game I guess.

    Has anyone played this game in co-op? and if so is the experience worth £30?

    Thanks.

    Oh man, this post is 5 days old! WAIT! Don't spend a dime my friend!
    The game is available for FREE on Home of the Underdogs, right HERE
    Completely legal, as well.
    While it is completely worth every penny, if you can get it for free, you might as well.
    As for co-op, I haven't done it, but hear it is a blast.

    *pssss" You can download it here too, I got it earlier and working beautifully.

    Btw, read the readme inside. This game is abandonware so this is perfectly legal as stated by the MODERATOR above. I'm just checking, because I got banned from Gamespot for linking something which was free.

    Just don't try to play coop directly (as in not VPN'ed) over the Internet, 99% of the time you'll spend 2 hours getting nowhere (trust me, I've tried every combination of port forwarding/DMZ/firewall stoppage/etc. imaginable). I haven't tried with Hamachi but it might work with that. LAN should work just fine.

    Hey, I saw the link that guy posted, but it's broken now. And the HotUD website doesn't have the SS2 download link anymore. Anyone else know where to get it?

    HOTU is a piracy site.  The games it hosts are not legally allowed to be there.  There's no such thing as Abandonware.
