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'.
TYRIAN 2000 SHIPS WINDOWS
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. Tyrian 2000 is a direct re-release of the original action smash, Tyrian. Be patient :-)Īlexander Brandon, Robert A. Unfortunately, this game is currently available only in this version. If you prefer to use a java applet emulator, follow this link. This game is emulated by javascript emulator em-dosbox. For fullscreen press 'Right Alt' + 'Enter'. One day I’ll get my hands back on the infamous ‘Head on a spike’ picture that caused so much consternation.Game is controlled by the same keys that are used to playing under MS DOS. PS: I’m still missing the store graphics and the cutscene graphics. Remastered Tyrian Graphics.zip (1.3 megs) 🙂Īnd to think, all those hours of effort fit easily into a little more than a meg of pngs.
TYRIAN 2000 SHIPS FREE
If you make something cool, let me know! Feel free to link back to this page so that others can grab the graphics and mess about. I’m making the set available for using in your games, prototypes, animations, etc. I may not have gotten all of them, so credit likely goes to Jason for the lovely hotdogs, etc. I also took the liberty of stripping out as the various ‘non-Danc’ flesh-colored seahorse graphics that managed to make their way into the tile set. Man, I haven’t done pixel editing in years. In hopes of contributing back to the great and eternal indie scene, I ‘remastered’ the graphics by removing some of the conversion dirt that had accumulated. There is some wierd stuff in there as a result, but no one ever complained. I turned up the radio and crunched away from 11am when I woke up to 11pm when David Letterman came on.
Alex sent me a short list of list of levels and said “Draw us some graphics.” So I did. I had recently splurged on an Amiga 1200 and it managed to pay for itself that very summer. It was either that or another summer stocking beer in the 7-11 cooler. A friend of mine who shall go by the pseudonym “Ray” had sent around some of my artwork (without my knowledge, I might add) and I ended up getting a random email from a very young Alex Brandon asking me if I wanted to make some graphics. I drew up the original graphics in about 4 months as my first real summer job. The freshly ripped files have some transparency errors here and the order is a tad confusing, but I am delighted to have copies again. Somewhere in the mess of moving multiple times in the past decade, I managed to lose the original files.
TYRIAN 2000 SHIPS CODE
My thanks go out to whoever ripped the graphics from the source code and posted them as PNGs. While browsing through their forums, I noticed that Jason Emery, keeper of the Tyrian flame, had made the source code available and folks were actively digging through it. Tyrian, the ancient vertically scrolling shooter from long ago still happens to have a fansite. I stumbled across a personal treasure this weekend.
