Tyrian 2000

A bright, colourful and easy-to-play SHMUP that reminds me of happy days gone past with R-Type and other 90s games in the genre. The difficulty level is good for people (like me) who are not twitch-fiends or bullet-hell enthusiasts. Tough enough to be challenging, not so tough you give up. If you're a bit fan of this genre, I imagine you'll find it very easy. You can change your load out each level, which gives you variety of strategies to try. There's a wide range of enemy types that forces you to switch your playstyles from time to time, and a few bonus objectives in each mission that allow you to stretch yourself. My one criticism is that the plot doesn't make a lot of sense. Apparently the idea was to only tell you part of the story, so you had to piece things together from your little perspective in a grander war. But I found it too confusing to follow. Not that it matters though, this is a shooter, not Mass Effect. Well worth a try!

One of the most interesting shooters of all time. I play it for Windows 98... It was the same experience. Thank you gog!

It is a timeless gem and a testament to the genre.

Classic and probably the best game of its kind.

it crashes my PC. Well it is an old game, running under DOSBox, so that can be expected, but still sad :/
