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...

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

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.   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.

I can't seem to be able to download the demo... maybe I need to fire up a BBS?

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

The lightning laser at full power ruled just as well.
