Thanks for the kind words! Wait until you see what we have 
in the full registered game!  The graphics and enemies get 
really wild!  (And there are a TON of secrets and hidden things).

    I tried it and think it's the best shootem-up game for PC. It's
great!!! The 2 player arcade mode is realy cool. I thin epic got one up
on apogee.

I agree! Well done Epic! It looks as if you were actually doing
something while we waited. The added secrets, such as the destructor
game make it that little bit better. How many more weapons and ships
are there in the full game? I'm a little bit dubious about getting
the registered version, because normally all you get is twice as many
levels plus the shareware ones, which, lets face it, is not really
value for money when the original third was free. I hope you have
gotten over this problem.

Thanks!  A lot of things were added AFTER the original release date
including big things such as network/modem play and arcade mode. Those
Eclipse guys worked their butts off for almost 2 years to make this a
totally polished effort. They're the ones who deserve all the congrats
- all we did was bitch at them <g>.

Tons!

You might consider the original episode free but really it's not -
it's just out there as a marketing tool. We could have put out some
lame (and much shorter) demo instead but then people would never get
the full effect of playing the game. 

We spent a lot of time, effort and money making Tyrian. When people
register they're helping us recoup the costs of ALL the episodes,
including the shareware episode.
