What is Tyrian 2000? ------------------------------------------------------ Welcome to another one of my FAQs, this FAQ covers the game Tyrian 2000, an update of the game Tyrian from Epic Megagames, this game features new ships, weapons, a new episode (Which spans about 12 levels), and even new cheats! This FAQ will explain the new features this game has to offer. Tyrian 2000 was made by XSIV Games. Tyrian 2000 is also available on the Game Boy Color. You can reach XSIV games on their website : www.xsivgames.com ------------------------------------------------------ II. What's the difference between Tyrian and Tyrian 2000? ------------------------------------------------------ [II a.] New Levels List Tyrian 2000 features new levels on a new episode called Episode 5 : Hazudra Fodder. [II b.] New Ships Name : Storm Cost : 5000 Armor : 3 Description : The Storm is an older model fighter from the Bontoria War which erupted about 220 star years ago. Unique at it's time, it was the first starfighter which is equipped with an experimental phase shift technology which rendered the craft impossible to hit. In later years, Microsol acquired the technology for it's somewhat popular USP Talon craft series. Unfortunately, it required critical extra space, severely limited the size of the craft, and required excessive energy boosts. Name : Gencore II Cost : 17000 Armor : 7 Description : This craft is the result of the Gencore raids of key Microsol research facilities following recent conflicts in the Asteroid sectors. Taking an existing design, Gencore retrofitted it with an advanced armor design and power couplings, resulting in an economical, but worthy craft, this design redically improves Gencore military effectiveness. [II c.] New Weapons Weapon Name : Needle Laser Weapon Type : Front Weapon Damage : 3/5 Cost : 600 Notes : This weapon will go through projectiles and enemy ships. Description : Looks like your generic shooter game laser. Not a bad weapon at all, can deal more damage than the charge cannon at a lesser price. Weapon Name : Dragon Frost Weapon Type : Front Weapon Damage : 2/5 Cost : 700 Notes : The middle shot of this weapon will go through projectiles and enemy ships. Description : Fires a 3-directional "ice-ball" , the middle shot goes enemy's ships and other things, unfortunately, it's side shots does miniscule damage, and the middle shot is not powerful enough to kill enemies in one shot.... Weapon Name : Bubble-Gum Gun Weapon Type : Sidekicks Damage : 1/5 Cost : 6000 Description : It will FLOOD the screen with circular shaped gums, unfortunately, it's too weak plus the fact that it needs LOTS of time recharging after shooting it. Weapon Name : Battle Ship-Class Firebomb Weapon Type : Sidekicks Damage : 2/5 Cost : 65000 Description : This version of the Firebomb fires at six different angles, compared to two, nothing else, buy if you have an extra money to spend, if not, avoid like the plague. [II d.] New Super Arcade Mode Ships List Ship: Pretzel Pete's Truck Password: PRETZEL (I think it's a plug.) Special: Super Pretzel (Slow and deadly....)
