...Over 70 different, diverse levels, two bonus campaigns (not missions, campaigns!) tons of weapons (from Nukes to hyper blasters to bananas to hot dogs!), hilarious messages, and a wonderfully dark plotline where you get to watch the main character slowly go insane...

And a sad, depressing ending.

I think that we're talking about two different games.

I was talking about <i>Tyrian</i> by Epic Megagames, downloadable from the space shooters section of Dosgames.com. What game are you talking about?

Hes talking about teh same thing.

Just wait, when I get my programming skills, ill make a better one. You just wait.

It has a depressing ending if you get the registered version?

Since there isn't much chance I'll buy the registered version, would you tell me what happens?

I'm sure you will Kazer.

Oh, I will!

Now that I think about it, I should have voted for space shooter. Blast. Oh well.

You shoot hot dogs in Tyrian?

No, I am talking about Tyrian 2000 (windows), the sequel to Tyrian (which is the old original one downloadible here). And yeah, I'm talking about the full version.

Is there a shareware version of 2000 I can download? Or is it AW now?

Post by **Dogbreath** » Fri Jun 20, 2003 12:49 pm

Yes, there's a shareware version... but I don't know where to get it.

Tyrian 2000 is really just an improved version of Tyrian, not a sequel. It's just formatted so it works on modern computers, as well as adding the stuff DB mentioned. The standard levels are pretty much the same, though.

On the original, you can shoot the hotdogs and bananas. That wasnt added.

And yes, Tyrian 2000 is NOT a sequil. Its just what da_goat said.

It is in the sense that you have an entire new campaign that adds to the story as well as 2 bonus campaigns and acompaning secrete missions along with new ones. (making the game, say, twice as large?)

Kazer0 · Post by **Kazer0** » Fri Jun 20, 2003 5:10 pm

I have yet to see these bonus campaigns. There are 5 in the game, and when you beat those, it goes back to the first. Ive beaten the game more than once.

Post by **Dogbreath** » Fri Jun 20, 2003 6:20 pm

...

There are 7 campaigns, two bonus. (or was it three?)

What version are you playing, Kazer0? I KNOW they are there. You have to beat a campaign to access it.

Kazer0 · Post by **Kazer0** » Fri Jun 20, 2003 6:46 pm

I have no idea what version im running, unless you mean between original and 2000, then its 2000.

Homz · Post by **Homz** » Mon Jun 23, 2003 2:45 pm

I played the first episode of the original and I didn't get hotdogs and bananas to shoot :Angry: !

Post by **Dogbreath** » Mon Jun 23, 2003 3:00 pm

Um dude, that's only one episode. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE FULL VERSION HERE! GET IT?!?!?!? Sheesh, people who refuse to understand really annoy me...

Man, I must be your worst enemy then...

So the truth comes out!
