Tyrian is possibly one of the best shoot-'em-ups to grace the PC platform, at leas in the nineties. It offers high quality visuals, excellent soundtrack, challenging gameplay and nearly endless replay value thanks to the different customisations, gameplay modes and secret bonuses. The game was originally sold as shareware by Epic MegaGames, then re-released as Tyrian 2000 in 1999. Eventually, the authors made the full game free, and released the source code. Thanks to this, Tyrian can be now played directly on Windows and other platforms without the need to resort to DOSBox.

Instruction / comment
NOTE: This game can be played directly in Windows using a source port (see the links section below).
This section tracks other objects or external resources.
The external resources, such as tarballs or Git repositories, are then available as part of the object. Their files can be considered local to the object and usable in scripts or as part of a build process.
For resources that are only to be used as part of the build or runtime of the object, it is best to describe those local to those sections.
