Title: Semi OT- Tyrian
Post by: JBX-Phoenix on July 19, 2001, 04:30:00 pm
Has anyone here heard of a game called Tyrian.  It's kind of an old game, but I thinks it's pretty good.  I was thinking that maybe we could convert all the ships and weapons to Freespace ships and weapons.  I think this would be pretty interesting.  

Only a thought though.

Yep, I've heard of it... a really fun vertical scroller that had pretty much the largest list of easter eggs and hidden levels of all time... Unfortunately the games' ships are 2D...

It's not really a secret level. You get it after you beat the first episode.

Ahhhh, Tyrain... that game ruled. I believe it was made by Epic Games. I liked to play 2 player and dock to the other dude.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif) I believe I only had the demo, though.

BTW: Has anybody played Ale? (it's a secret level)

My fave weapon was that beam. It ruled but it was rare to get. It could destroy nearly anything in a short amount of time... even the mini bosses. It's been a long time since I played the game.

Another good idea is to get ships from Tyrain into FS2. Some of those designs were awesome.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

I can't seem to be able to download the demo... maybe I need to fire up a BBS?  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

I prefered the Zica laser..... although the continuous laser was nasty as well.

The lightning laser at full power ruled just as well.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
