FAQ

OpenTyrian is a port of the DOS shoot-em-up Tyrian. Jason Emery generously gave the OpenTyrian developers a copy of the Tyrian 2.1 source code, which has since been ported from Turbo Pascal to C. The port uses SDL, making it easily cross-platform.

Tyrian is an arcade-style vertical scrolling shooter. The story is set in 20,031 where you play as Trent Hawkins, a skilled fighter-pilot employed to fight Microsol and save the galaxy.

Builds

SVN builds are available for Windows and Mac OS X. Grab a copy of the Tyrian 2.1 data files (mirror), since they usually are not included with the SVN builds.

There are also console builds for the Amiga, Dreamcast, DS, GameCube, Gizmondo, GP2X, Nokia Internet Tablets, PSP, PS3 Linux, Symbian, and Wii.

Building

If you'd prefer to build OpenTyrian Classic yourself, checkout a copy of the source, acquire the SDL and SDL_net development libraries, and...

Enhanced has additional requirements and should be compiled using Microsoft Visual C++ Express 2008.
