Abnormal Ammo/ Edible Ammunition: The SuperCarrot FoodShip Nine, a Carrot-shaped vessel, shoots out food as its main weapons.2-D Space: Mostly, very occasionally you can fly under or over something coming at you.Not to be confused with the Ax Crazy villain from RWBY.

Even the graphics were released with an open license (check here). The official page of author Jason Emery is quite sparse, so it's better to refer to this excellent fansite. An iPhone- and iPod touch-compatible applet based on Version 2.1 is also available. ROM images of these uncompleted games are available from the author's website. Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance ports were started, but never released. A later rerelease Tyrian 2000 (Version 3.0) added a short fifth episode. Version 2.x added a few extra levels to Episode 1 as well as a new fourth episode featuring a raid on the research planet Ixmucane. Version 1.x contained three episodes (with the first being released for free, as was common among shareware publishers in the '90s) and chronicled Trent's escape from Tyrian and his hunt for the Microsol invasion fleet. Three iterations of the game were released. It is considered by many to be one of the best scrolling shooters ever made. With great graphics for its time, addictive gameplay, and catchy music, along with a wide variety of levels, weapons, enemies and hidden secrets, Tyrian is a game with a lot of replay value. Tyrian also includes arcade mode for both one and two players on the same computer or over a local network.

With that, Trent begins a long, dangerous fight for his survival.įor a game of the genre, Tyrian actually has a surprising amount of story to it, primarily in the form of datacubes that can be collected from certain enemies and read between levels when you get the opportunity to upgrade your ship in the game's Story Mode. With his dying breath, Buce informs Trent that Microsol intends to use the Gravitium to take control of the sector, and that he's next on their hit list.

You are Trent Hawkins, a terraformation pilot currently assigned to the planet Tyrian, the only planet in the entire sector that contains samples of Gravitium, a material that causes huge chunks of its landmass to float in the air. Developed by Eclipse Productions (now World Tree Games) and published in 1995 by Epic Megagames (now Epic Games), Tyrian is an addictive Vertical Scrolling Shooter.
