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. "Highlight Colours" remain the same, this means that, for example, Mobs will still be highlighted red instead of brown.Īlso please note that this mod was made with visuality in mind, not practicality.Tyrian 2000 is a direct re-release of the original action smash, Tyrian. Please note that, due to how the game saturates the colour, it's a lot less dark than it is meant to be.įor example, Black appears more Dark Gray than a deep almost pitch black dark. Cyan and White are the same, but they have been darkened to be in tune with the rest of the colours. * Yellow is a much more "Gold Wheat"-like type of colour. * Pink is now Black instead with some very small hints of blue. * Purple is now a customized "Tyrian Purple" type of colour that is also heavily desaturated. * Orange is now a much more saturated, bright orange, but also heavily contrasted and clearly dark. * Red is a combination of "Carmite" and dark/blood red. * Green is now "Dark Green" with some Coral hints to it. * Blue is now a much more desaturated "Midnight Blue" type. ![]() That's lovely, but the colours for the team? Cartoonish, so I just said, hey if I can fix it myself then I will and I did. The game is clearly made to be set in a "realistic" setting, which is why, visually, it's very bloomy despite the fact the whole lore, history and environment of the game being rather "Medieval Dark" style. The reason I made this is because I got sick of the overly-saturated colour that Spellforce 3 has. This mod changes Team Colour to make it be darker and have a better contrast.
