About

OpenTyrian2000 is an open-source port of the DOS game Tyrian and a fork of OpenTyrian. Its goal is to replicate the Tyrian 2000 experience as closely as possible.

Getting started

It requires the Tyrian 2000 data files, which have been released as freeware. Controls are arrow keys to move, space to fire, enter to toggle rear weapon mode, ctrl/alt for the left and right sidekicks, and alt-enter for full screen. Networked games must be started manually from the command line by both players, using UDP port 1333.

Known issues & limitations

  • There is no arena, so both players must start network games manually from the command line at the same time.
  • Network play has not been tested for the project.

What you need to run it
