The next day your friend is shot in the back by a MicroSol hoverdroid. You don't get long to enjoy your discovery, however. While scouting the planet of Tyrian, you and a friend come across a deposit of a newly-discovered mineral, Gravitium. Players star as Trent Hawkins, ace terraforming pilot working under the command of shady multi-global corporation MicroSol. Tyrian 2000 was the best PC shoot-em-up of the 90s, and it still holds up remarkably well today. But for my Check Or Money Order, they were at their peak in the shareware age with such games as Jazz Jackrabbit, One Must Fall: 2097, and, of course, the game we are here to discuss today, Eclipse Productions' Tyrian 2000. Sure, nowadays they're best known for Unreal and Gears of War. When it came to shareware publishing, one company was king: Epic Games (alternately known as Epic, Epic MegaGames, Potomac Computer Systems, and The Warehouse Where Tim Sweeney Kept All Those Old ZZT Discs). Considering Circuit City would sell them in the $3 range, that was a heck of a deal. Each one was filled to bursting with demos, previews, and the First-Of-Four-Episodes-The-Rest-Of-Which-Can-Be-Yours-For-The-Low-Price-of-$19.99.
