Vote for Tyrian 2000 today! It's a beautifully done top-down shooter with loads of hidden features, including ships and weapons and secret levels. Vote now!
"The game is set in the year 20,031. Players play as a skilled terraformation pilot named Trent Hawkins, who is employed to scout out habitable locations on newly terraformed planets. His latest assignment is the planet Tyrian, which is located near the territory of the Hazudra, who are a lizard-like race.
One day, Buce Quesillac, a Hazudra, and Trent's best friend, is shot in the back by a hoverdrone which quickly disappears into the sky. As Buce lay dying, he tells Trent that it was all the work of Microsol, the giant corporation who controlled the terraformation of Tyrian. They had Buce shot because of his knowledge of Gravitium, which is a special mineral, unique to Tyrian, capable of controlling the force of gravity.
Microsol want to utilize Gravitium to power their warships, which could result in them becoming nearly unstoppable. They also attempt to eliminate anyone who knows of its existence. Trent is the next person on their hit list, and with his last words, Buce implores him to try to reach Savara, a free world. Trent manages to secure a small fighter, and departs for Savara

I played it back in the day on my friend Acer Aspire PC. It was a pretty good game. I've never really been a big fan of scrolling ship games because they piss me off. Truxton is one that I burned to ash because I got sick of getting killed in ridiculous ways. I'll vote for it though because it's one of your favorites.
this one is easy enough, and there are lots of hidden stuffz, so the replay value is high. there are even a few cheats if you can't make it past a certain level or boss.
Do you know where the damn Wishlist is? Jesus.

there's no call for that sort of language. I know where the wishlist is, I'm trying to get other people to go there and vote.

Didn't you read his post? He specifically said "VOTE for Tyrian today". Sheesh.

You could be a little nicer to new people.
I was thinking that someone should make a topic where people reminded people of GOGs so that they would vote for them on the wishlist, because it's easy to forget.
For example, the War Wind, Deadlock, and Warlords series don't get enough wishlist lovin'. Neither does DeathDrome.
By the way, voted.

I voted! I hope it makes it to GOG someday. Keep those memories alive and make some new ones.

All excellent games and I agree, I'll vote when I get off work.

It's not a beg thread, it's a vote thread. That's not against the "rules", it's merely slightly annoying. It doesn't call for that kind of reaction though. Reserve that for the actual beg threads. You'll see me do the same.
I'm in a bitter mood. I apologise.
Tyrian 2000 was actually released as freeware.

Andy_Panthro: Tyrian 2000 was actually released as freeware.

Confirmed. Given that it's freeware, and has a native Windows version (see below), I don't think it's urgent to get this up on GOG.
Jason Emery (owner of the Tyrian IP) has a copy of Tyrian 2000 on his website.
[url=http://members.iinet.net.au/~vannevar/tyrian/]This Aussie guy[/url] has a pretty decent collection of downloads and other Tyrian tidbits.
Camanis has downloads of every major Tyrian release as well as some soundtrack remixes.
Finally, OpenTyrian is an active source port which has a native Windows build.

If you can find it, Alien Legacy is a good one also.
