Description
And you thought being a Terraforming Engineer would be a quiet life compared to being a Space Marine? Blasting rocks to make way for new settlements on Tyrian seemed like a quiet life, but your long-time Huzundra friend is now dead - bless his lizard hide. Murdered! And obviously Microsol, the Terraforming company wants you dead too! It's that huge new rock formation you and Buce uncovered - it's Gravitium, and it's priceless. Tyrian is the only planet where it exists in commercial quantities, and Microsol are determined to control it. You can expect them to throw all their resources against you - and they won't pull any punches.

This game is free???

For a free game, must have. Even if it costs money, it's a must have. But it's free. Did I say it was free? That's insane.

Amazing game - poor compatibility

Tyrian 2000 remains an amazing game, a fun shoot em up with an enjoyable upgrade system. However, at least on my machine, dosbox runs it really badly with stuttering and frequent crashes. i hope this is just me, as the game is worth anyones time.

Multiplayer addiction

I remember playing this game over and over again spending hours in front of the screen with my brother. The multiplayer co-op mode kept us down in the chair. Extremely fun, very nice graphics compared to other games of the time of the same genre, and the music was really well composed to create the atmosphere. And still one of the best games to play at one computer for two.

An Armored Core Shmup

This game really scratches that customization itch. It's really fun to see what kind of beast of a ship you can make with the available credits you earn. This game is so good I don't know why it's free. But then again I might never have gotten it if it weren't, which would have been a shame. I love this already and have barely scratched the surface. Menus are a bit tricky with a controller in my case, but in game works great.
