Tyrian is an arcade-style vertical scrolling shooter developed by Eclipse Productions and published by Epic MegaGames in 1995. It was a departure from the prevalent “serious” style of shooters, due to the cartoon-like artwork and the abundance of silly (or at least strange) dialogue and content.

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

I honestly could not for the life of me figure out what I had to do. I tried the various controls the game had listed, most likely it would have let me do something if I tried more combinations of keys. I can find no record of it online. It’s from an old Shareware compilation disc of mine. It appears to be a side scroller where you solve puzzles and try to prove your innocence from some sort of crime. Very interesting and odd… the protagonist is dressed like a typical gumshoe.
