![]() To reach Impossible, press 'shift-}', then to reach Suicide press 'shift-G'. There are three hidden difficulty levels: Impossible, Suicide and King of the Game.Apparently, having learned from the deaths of many young fighters who were terrified by the silence in space, ship manufacturers devised a way to pick up the minute distrubances caused by sound in space and amplify it a thousandfold. Among them are: A message from Stephan, one of the characters in Epic's One Must Fall 2097 (and also one of the songs in the game is called "One Mustn't Fall"), another which introduces you to other Epic games such as Jazz Jackrabit and also a message which fits the game's plot, hinting at the prospect that "access to subtitle 'Registered Version' might bring further information".Įpic hasn't made any shortcuts in the game, and even bothered to place a message entitled "Mega Soundchair" in order to explain why Tyrian has sounds of explosions in space. Secret MessagesĮpic Megagames, the original distributor of Tyrian, has embedded various messages inside the plot. A lot of people are still speculating which company/organization MicroSol's rival, Gencore, represent. MicroSol, the company which tries to take over the world in Tyrian, is arguably a non-very-small pun at Microsoft. Tyrian's logo (in the main menu) can be read both the usual way and upside down! References They can be downloaded at, or through mirrors at its preeminent fanpage: Logo This game, along with unreleased ports of it to the GameBoy Colour and GameBoy Advance, were re-released as freeware August 17th, 2004, by the author, Jason Emery. ![]() To reach it type 'destruct' in the main menu. One secret game (see screenshots), which is something of a simultaneous Scorched Earth, was forgotten in the original Tyrian and added to Tyrian V2 (then to Tyrian 2000). There are several levels in which you can get to as much as 3 different secret levels from 3 different places inside the same level!Īlso, several (believed to be 3) secret games were added to Tyrian v2.0 (and consequently, Tyrian 2000), the first of which is called Zinglon's Ale. Over a dozen secret levels can be reached, and there's also a secret level which leads to another. Tyrian is STUFFED with secrets, it's simply amazing. Tyrian's complete arsenal amound to over a dozen type of ships and over 100 weapon types! Groups + It features a multi-layered ship upgrade engine, in which you can change hulls, decide upon and upgrade your front and rear weapons, buy better shields and generators and even add ship "sidekicks". Tyrian also has two player arcade mode and supports network/modem/serial play. ![]() ![]() Through your struggles, you will find yourself again and again betrayed by friends and allies, your parents will be killed and you will have to return to points you've already been to (with variations on the levels) in order to remove further threats to the galaxy and to yourself, all for the ultimate goal of overthrowing MicroSol. Again and again, Trent must fight off MicroSol, a company with the evil intent of taking over the galaxy. You play the role of Trent Hawkings, this galaxy's ace solo fighter-pilot, whose luck forces him to save the galaxy, one time after another. It gained a following even larger than the classic Raptor: Call of the Shadows, and rightfully so: it has a plot. Tyrian is nothing like your run-of-the-mill shoot-'em-up. It also adds another option called "Timed Battle". It is essentially the same game with an additional new episode (Hazudra Fodder), a revised engine (less bugs and better controls) and added Windows support. So, now I'm running my old copy on this Win98 gaming PC I have and I'm lacking anything more than tyredit.Tyrian 2000 is a direct re-release of the original action smash, Tyrian. Only to have my SSD fail a couple hours later. On that note, I installed the port of OpenTyrian on my Pi4 today and played through the 4 available episodes in one sitting. I eventually got the money to purchase the full version, and still feel that it is the finest vertically-scrolling shooter ever to be developed. I used to chat with the customer service guys at Epic MegaGames way back when, and one of them sent me the floppies for the shareware version of 1.0 and included some Gravity Kills stickers in the packet. I created an account to revive this dead thread to ask you to post those tools, Sir! I have been playing Tyrian on and off for something like 25 years, now. TL:DR - Please post those tools? I love Tyrian with all my heart and would love to have anything more that tyredit to play with, given that I have experienced everything this game has to offer Tyrian was one of the few games I had growing up. I'm happy to provide what I've got for this game, because its a LARGE part of my life. I didn't know anyone was attempting to do this XD Cool! You should have posted that earlier, would have saved me the time
