6/24/2023 0 Comments Tyrian 2000 guideWithout any warning you will be thrown into a deadly game of power as MicroSol tries to take complete control over the planetary system called Tyrian. Alone you stand against a mighty corporation. Your friends will betray you, your parents will be killed, and everything and everyone turns against you. There will be different routes for you to take, so the game will never repeat itself. You will get the plot of the game from different Data Sources all over the game. These will include messages from friends, allies and others that will unlock new weapons, ships or star-travels. Since these data-sources are hidden within buildings and enemy ships, you will never go through the game twice with the exact same information. So the actual game will change all the time. In case you were wondering about the actual game-stats let me list them up for you. It goes to show how big the actual game is. Over 65 levels spanning 5 episodes (you will also play these levels more than once).įull game, Arcade game and Timed Battle modes. Ship editor (The best thing in the whole game! Lets you custom build your ship for every mission).Ī jukebox (Lets you listen to the game music). Supports both 1 player and 2 player mode. Weapon inventory (cycle with W (missiles) and G (guns)) Lock-on missiles (need to be behind the enemy though) Can have the camera chase your missiles up until impact, pretty nice 2D graphics outside of missions Good map system (click a location to have a crosshair appear on the in-game radar and main screen) Skip dialogue on a per sentence basis during dialogue and mission briefings Give orders to teammates during missions (stay in formation, break formation and attack, attack my target, etc.) The game also continues if you fail a mission without dying (mission tree system with some storyline variations) The game continues when a team mate dies during a mission and has NPCs talking about them afterwards and even plays a funeral cutscene) RPG/Adventure aspects (get new ships and weapons as the game progresses, well-developed characters for the time, manually talk to NPCs between missions, talking team mates during missions, some enemies will communicate with you during battle) Weaves what you’d expect to be menus into a P&C game environment (save slots, training arcade cabinet, score board (behind the bar) and medal screen (in your locker)) Wing Commander (PC, 1990) - FP Space Flight/Combat, RPG/Adventure hybrid Six different avatars (no gameplay difference?) Emotion-themed areas (main difference is in the music) See you in the game.Alpha Waves/Continuum (PC/Atari ST, 1990) - 3D Platformer/Maze Platformer, TP view Still reading? Sorry, but I don't want to write more. Warlords (PC/AMI, 1990) - ? TBS, 4-player vs.?, HoMM Precursor? medieval theme Can import your char from the previous game Text parser plus dialogue choices (AGD remake only?) Communication stat (bargain with merchants) Time limits on various quests throughout (living world element) One unique optional quest for each class and different ways to solve problems depending on which you picked Quest for Glory II: Trial by Fire (PC, 1990) - Quest Adventure/ARPG hybrid Polygonal 3D graphics (good framerate, flat shading, so-so draw distance) Simulcra (AMI/ST, 1990) - TPS/3D Platformer/Tank Combat Sim, S&D Mission Stunts/4D Sports Driving (PC, 1990) - Racing, 3D engine (sprite-based cockpit view), Multiple views Ship damage can randomly take out weapons/break the ejection system/make you slow down a lot/remove parts of the interface (this last one also causes a constant noise to trigger until the mission is over which is very annoying) Sequence breaking - if you know the mission tree well you can cheat its win/loss system and get to the good ending while skipping most of the game (by ejecting during missions) – you can eject in all Venice/final area missions as long as you get to them Some enemies will escape if you don’t kill them quickly enough Can eject yourself from your ship (to surrender instead of dying)Īuto-pilot (A) triggers a short cutscene in which your ship moves towards the next objective (lets you skip longer distances) Your teammates are actually pretty useful (unlike in Star Fox) – not all of them are good though
