Old and Nice game for free. Very good ratings 4.3/5
Enjoy :)

And you thought being a Terraforming Engineer would be a quiet life compared to being a Space Marine? Blasting rocks to make way for new settlements on Tyrian seemed like a quiet life, but your long-time Huzundra friend is now dead - bless his lizard hide. Murdered! And obviously Microsol, the Terraforming company wants you dead too! It's that huge new rock formation you and Buce uncovered - it's Gravitium, and it's priceless. Tyrian is the only planet where it exists in commercial quantities, and Microsol are determined to control it. You can expect them to throw all their resources against you - and they won't pull any punches.
Classic, oldschool and just awesome vertical schooter gameplay at its best.
Gameplay mechanics that are easy to learn but hard to master.
Ship Editor - create your own ship and rule the skies.

Far out, this was the shit. I remember playing heaps of the two player arcade mode, one person on the mouse other on the keyboard in a race to collect all them purple orb thingos. Loved it.

    Just for laughs, you can read the original game's requirements at the bottom of the box art: http://members.iinet.net.au/~vannevar/tyrian/boxback.jpg

Vivid memories of playing this on our old pc, listening to Bruce Springsteen on the CD drive (you could play a CD directly from the drive with headphones, pretty slick).

Good times.

I remember a mate of mine somehow found dev tools for tyrian on some forum back in high school, and just went full ham modding it out. Tyrian is an absolute classic, if you haven't touched it, there's no excuses now.

  Some memories this list bring back. BASS was my first adventure game.

  Note that the game doesn't even need to be downloaded from GOG - the GOG version is just a packaged version of the game from here: https://bitbucket.org/opentyrian/opentyrian/wiki/Home

If you type INFERNO into the start window, you get a scorched earth minigame

This game is an absolute classic. Loved playing this as a kid

I loved that game! Does anyone remember the campaign, which was very straightforward in the first episode (the shareware) but became introspective and weird as the main character got very lonely and started hallucinating? Great stuff.

Loved tyrian. So I need a gog account to claim it I'm guessing

Before this game it was raptor from apogee.

After this game it was raiden for me
