...Over 70 different, diverse levels, two bonus campaigns (not missions, campaigns!) tons of weapons (from Nukes to hyper blasters to bananas to hot dogs!), hilarious messages, and a wonderfully dark plotline where you get to watch the main character slowly go insane...

And a sad, depressing ending.

I think that we're talking about two different games.

I was talking about <i>Tyrian</i> by Epic Megagames, downloadable from the space shooters section of Dosgames.com. What game are you talking about?

It has a depressing ending if you get the registered version? :cry: Since there isn't much chance I'll buy the registered version, would you tell me what happens?

I'm sure you will Kazer.

Now that I think about it, I should have voted for space shooter. Blast. Oh well.

You shoot hot dogs in Tyrian?

No, I am talking about Tyrian 2000 (windows), the sequel to Tyrian (which is the old original one downloadible here). And yeah, I'm talking about the full version.

Is there a shareware version of 2000 I can download? Or is it AW now?

Tyrian 2000 is really just an improved version of Tyrian, not a sequel. It's just formatted so it works on modern computers, as well as adding the stuff DB mentioned. The standard levels are pretty much the same, though.

On the original, you can shoot the hotdogs and bananas. That wasnt added.

It is in the sense that you have an entire new campaign that adds to the story as well as 2 bonus campaigns and acompaning secrete missions along with new ones. (making the game, say, twice as large?)

I have yet to see these bonus campaigns. There are 5 in the game, and when you beat those, it goes back to the first. Ive beaten the game more than once.

...

There are 7 campaigns, two bonus. (or was it three?)

What version are you playing, Kazer0? I KNOW they are there. You have to beat a campaign to access it.
