Using the arow buttons and the spacebar. Just try stuff like mortal combat moves and stuff. It only works in arcade mode, unless your ship is special (like a gencore). Gencore ships just move up and down while rapidly pressing the spacebar. But don't fly into anything...

Hey Tyrian is Da Bomb... I hear that is discontinued and apparently the guys who redid tyrian2000 went out of business. Thats too bad as i do not think Epic Mega Games owns the tyrian licence, so it is basically owned by nonone? I suppose some fans could make a Tyrian 2 as Tyrian2000 was just a upgraded version of Tyrian the Original.

Tyrian came out in 98 or something like that. Tyrian 2000 was just an update for it. Epic still had people around from the original tyrian to complete it k:

One of the best DOS-Shooter ever. Graphic, effects, animations and gameplay are absolutely superb.
It seems to be a remake of "Major Stryker" with EGA-graphics (1993):

Much butter than Raptor. But if side-scrolling shooters like R-Type and Katakis are your favorites, try Stargunner.

One of my Favourite Abandon Games, i love this gem, because it unites pur Action with a good plot and the ability to upgrade.. seems to be the best Space shooter ... though i didn't get to play them all..

I'm never bored when i play this game, cause there are so many secrets/mini games special arcade modes, tricks and at least the ability to build ur own custom space ships...

btw. i hope i don't break any rules here for mention a good Tyrian 2000 resource site, where you can download new ships and other handsome stuff-

I got the old DOS based version of it on my first pc back in '95 or so. It was awesome, I played it for hours on end at times. And when things got tough, I'd just set it to Pentium detail and evade the hordes of bullets.

I totally love this game, i played the demo back in the days for countless hours and even got a chance to buy an original cd version at some point (still have it :P).
2player mode rocked even more, player 1 with joystick, and 2 on the keyboard...

However, with Tyrian original as well as Tyrian 2000, the game slows down a considerable bit when platforms come in sight (slideshow, boring slow). The same as with clouds but you can turn clouds off... anyone got a tip to fix this? I tried the -FLICKER.

I ddin't see this easteregg yet:

in setup, select Game Detail and press "Shift+W", the game will now be set to 'wild graphics mode'. It's just a step higher then Pentium and adds waves across the entire screen. It used to run supersweet on my older computers, but now it's slow as ... hmm... slideshow slow!

I'm running windows xp and dosbox 0.61. got an amd 3000+ but had the same problem with my p4 1,8Ghz...
