Tyrian 2000

Released: 1999

Tyrian 2000 is an updated rerelease of the original Tyrian. Tyrian is an action killing, smashing, shoot'em'all arcade game. Your goal is to kill as many enemies as possible and finish the level, buy more weapons and then kill many more enemies. Your battle ship can be improved over time and you can buy new weapons currently available. Your ship supports front guns, rear guns and side slots for the most deadly weapons.

The game was officially released as freeware in 2004, and the graphics were made available under an open license in April 2007.

Tyrian was programmed by Jason Emery, illustrated by Daniel Cook, and its music composed by Alexander Brandon and Andras Molnar.
