Shareware Shopper

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.

This is another video of Tyrian, an arcade-style vertical scrolling game developed by Eclipse Productions and published by Epic MegaGames in 1995. This game originally came with four episodes. In 1999, Tyrian was re-released as Tyrian 2000, which includes a fifth episode and additional ships.

This game has been released as freeware in 2004. In 2007, the original Pascal source code was licensed to a small group of people, who rewrite it in C as an open source project called OpenTyrian.
