![]() That should be an answer enough.□Īll in all, my verdict is that Open Tyrian is a super shoot’em! It is a must have on your AmigaOS 4 setup. What I can say though, is that I didn’t notice not playing Tyrian. So, how does it compared to the original Tyrian?

The first thing you’ll encounter when starting up is the main menu. Check out the enclosed readme-file for more information about this. You’ll then see icons of the different versions of the game. Once it has finished downloading, unpack it to a directory of your choice (right-click icon, choose “extract to”).
