About Tyrian
Tyrian is the world's best arcade shooter, meaning a game where you pilot a plane seen through a top down view and blast enemies to bits while collecting powerups. Players of Raptor and Baryon should have an idea of what it is like. Imagine this: Fly missions for cash to upgrade your ship, a wide variety of enemies including HUGE bosses to blast to bits, 6 difficulty settings, scrolling speeds which can make you feel G-forces and numerous secret and special stuff in the game which means you'll never get bored playing the same old game. All this spanning through 4 episodes of intense action with graphical standards other shooters dream of attaining. Done with the game? Not quite. 8 secret ships to discover and fly, including Super Tyrian which redifines the meaning of impossible. And that's not all. To round of the package, there is a bonus game within Tyrian, which is another secret waiting for you to discover when you play the game. So why not give it a go?Download
