Actually the storyline is fun, at first it gets normal but then you just replay the game to collect all data cubes full of fun and humor. There are many smart jokes about games, like the Soundchair one, damn I laughed hard when I read it. Those two guys who made the game are no less than genius of game development. I still play this game from time to time to refresh old memories, besides it's very cool timekiller, but unfortuntely after playing a bit you get sucked into the game, it's so addictive!

:wallbash: what the other games of this genre do against this game. tyrian is uniqe in its own aspect as the whole upgrades with your hard earned points works out nicely. id have to say though the best combination is the carrot ship lightning gun lvl 10 sonic wave lvl 10 front protn side arm thingy and a miniship ( cnt remember which one) trust me instead of just switching guns maximize them to lvl 10 w(whene it comes to the lightning its worth it) in short this game is a god among space shooters

It's the upgrading that does it. You start off with a puny little gun, and by the end you're just filling the screen with firepower.

Does anybody know how to enable the Lord Of The Game difficulty level?

I read something about after Impossible and Suicide pressing L+O+R+D but it doesn't work.

And pray tell, where did you hear that?

There was a random secret hint message ingame at the end of my latest Suicide run and I read it on several FAQ/Cheat websites.

I decreased my DosBox' Cycles to 2500 so my typings "arrive slower". I even created a macro on my keyboard that types the letters L, O, R and D in 10 milliseconds spaces - nothing worked so far.

Also, if I press more than 2 keys at once a pc speaker beep tells me that too many keys are used... :/

I downloaded Tyrian 2000, and it plays fine, but theres no sound or music whatsoever. I have dosbox and vdmsound, but no matter what I try to do, I can't get sound. I go to setup (won't run using vdmsound for some reason) and I can get none of the music or sound options to work. For sound, its simply disabled. For music, the only that claims will work is something called "fm music", but it doesn't. I heard something about configuring dosbox to use soundblaster earlier in this thread, but I have no idea how to do that.

Please help!!

I wrote this by the way. Decided I should join

If you are using Dosbox' default settings: Sound Blaster 16, IRQ 7, DMA 1, Adress 220 h.
If there is no option for SB 16, try SB Pro 2 (or if that's not there either, "plain" SB Pro).

Ok, I am dumb. I know nothing about programming, I just want to play some old dos games. Now I downloaded Tyriana 2000, and there is no sound. Do I have to play it using dosbox? if so, please explain in a thorough and detailed walkthrough. If not, then do I use vdmsound? If so, it flat out won't load using it, says something about an error and click close to close. The only thing I can do is go to the Tyriana "setup" thing, and play with the options. In the options, no matter what I choose, the sound is disabled. For the music, the only thing that claims to work is something called "fm sound" which is supposed to support soundblaster and all that. But the only way I have sounblaster support is using vdmsound, and I can't run Tyriana's setup with vdmsound. Please help, and remember, I'm a true newbie. Thanks.

[The Fifth Horseman]

Run the setup in DosBox, then, and then run the game with VDMSound.
