Tyrian is a computer game developed by World Tree Games and published in 1995 by Epic MegaGames. It's a straight forward top down shoot em up, and it's super loving awesome. WHich is the reason why I'm going to play through most of it. I had a really good op written here before, but then around episode 4 I hosed up so not the op is a gimp. I might fix this later, but not now.



The first release of Tyrian had three episodes, the next release (Tyrian 2) had 4 episodes and the last version, Tyrian2000 had five episodes. In this LP I will be playing OpenTyrian 2.1, Which is an Open Source port that mimic Tyrian 2, it can be found here.
