Until two years ago I've been all my life playing old videogames, and for sure I had space shooters among them. Before I knew this one, my favourite was Dangerous Seed in the Mega Drive/Genesis, but, man, Tyrian means for its subgenre what Metal Slug (or Contra for some people) means to shoot'em up titles. Cool sprites, fast gameplay, interesting ship improvement system and, of course, epic difficulty. I just can't give a word about story yet, even if I managed to read a bit of it, but no text could make this piece bad. For Linux users, I recomend using the extracted content in the native DOSBox emulator. Take a shot in this game, it's a great hit.
