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.

See OpenTyrian

I really like the original graphics, the gunplay, and the lore. What a nice gem. There is an improved version available at github.com/opentyrian which can make use of these assets.

A Classic Shmup That Still Blasts Hard

I remember playing this game with my cousin when we were kids. I completely forgot the name of the game. Thanks GOG for bringing back memories. I always liked the visuals and sound effects in this game. The variety of weapons, which all looked quite cool, and other customizations made for great replayability. Until I played the game again recently, I didn’t realize the campaign was packed with quirky lore, hidden secrets, and an unusual story about intergalactic plant matter.

Awesome memories

This was my first game I played on my pentium 133...I had to overclock with the dipswitches to 166 to get the wild graphics to run smooth with my S3 trio.

changed the music

the music was one of my favorite parts of this game, the gameplay is the same but the music has been degraded from the original, with missing notes and odd rhythms, it sounds like not only sdid they use a different synth, but they messed up the midi files too
