OpenTyrain - Tyrian 2.1 + windows port

OpenTyrian


Tyrian is a shoot 'em up with a complex plot. 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. Again and again, Trent must fight off MicroSol, a company with the evil intent of taking over the galaxy. 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




This is the classic tyrian 2.1 game along with Opentyrian, a windows port of the game. Note this is not tyrian2000 (which was tyrian 3.0) but the eariler tyrian 2.1 version. The only real difference is there is no chapter 5.
This game is one of my all time favorites

To play:
1) Unzip files
2) Run OpenTyrian.exe
3)*important* If the screen is too large, go into the opentyrain menu item at the main screen and chnage the scaler. It's currenmtly set for my huge moniter
4) Also while playing hit escape and turn detail level to Pentium (I'm not sure why that got reset)

A few extra notes:
Should play on any machine running XP or better
Game is played by a mouse. Use arrow keys for menus to save a lot of headache
ctrl-f10 unlocks the mouse so you can move the mouse outside of the window
