Small correction: The Ships may also have input combos, so you need to watch out for that too. Some ships have an easy to trigger combo that eats away at your shields to fire an attack, or tapping left and right can disrupt the on-screen projectiles as if you had the repulsor.
When I was like 10 years old and I don't have internet back then, I was able to figure out the twiddles on each ship by myself and write them on my diary... ah memories...
if you want to master this game your going to have to learn to use a mouse. it lets you move just like you would if your ship was a mouse unlike centipede where your ship moves to a speed and then just keeps moving meaning you only get control if you do not move to far in Tyrian your ship is just a mouse though not as fast as the mouse (at least with my mouse setting).
Yeah, Tyrian is a great one, but i think its spiritual sequel - Jets'n'Guns is much better. At least the first one. Its essentially the same game, with differenet ships and upgrades, but horizontal and with some humor in cutscenes. Its my favorite "shmup"
I've loved this game ever since the mid 90s. Fantastic soundtrack

I ordered this game from Epic Megagames as a teenager... I love this game beyond words!
still playing dis game from time to time
11:05 it hurts to see you ignore that Laser and went for the Mega Cannons instead XD
The presentation looks crazy busy. I'd probably get lost in the details.
Oh yeh, and you should research "twiddles" for this game. They're Street Fighter-like special moves, exclusive to each ship.

I think the hardest difficulty I can play is Impossible. I always do no death run in Arcade mode, meaning if my ship blow up I will restart the level
Good review i have the game and is a real good game.

Remember the level with the green and red gravity bulbs? Use Mouse and Keyboard simultaneously. Makes you moove like a rocket.
Top game. I played it a lot on my Amiga 500.
this game need a revamp on xbox 2019

Nice review, but the casual f-bomb dropping is annoying.
