Honestly, by the end of the game the only two weapons you need are the air-ground missiles and the twin laser. Laser for ships and turrets, missiles for buildings. Everything else just kind of gets in the way.
Man this game was the best! I once managed to beat the final wave with a single phase shield & full regular shields. But I don't think I could do it again.
Got a question... Let's say you have 1 laser turret (or any selectable weapon) and then you buy 1 or 2 more turrets. That improves the laser turret firepower? Any advantages of owning more than 1 selectable weapon? (I mean the same weapon) Please answer, anyone
I can still remember doing this level on Rookie the very first time so many years ago and coming out quite dead. Back then, I had to use the not-so-legal method of storing nine Phase Shields in order to pass. That's how bad I was at this level.
Yeah it is dude, when was the last time you checked? He was a douchebag for a while and charged but now he got sponsored by TRUE and lets us get on for free
The nice thing about Tyrian 2000 is all the secrets in it. There are those Super Arcade modes, DESTRUCT, Super Tyrian, the SuperCarrot swap, the secret levels and so on.
The nice thing about Raptor is that it is very realistic, from the ship sprites right down to selling stuff. Training Mode really is a simulation, Rookie really is for rookies, Veteran is for more seasoned players, and Elite is for those people who have spent too much time playing it (which isn't a bad thing).
It might be useful to chuck the air to ground missiles in there too, but I was thinking the same thing, far too many weapons to cycle through. Totally awesome game though and pretty well played there too, I wish I could find my old disk =\
Very conservative play. I try to kill as many as I could. If you don't go for maximum kill, the level ain't that hard to get through, especially with 5 shields.
Hehe last lvl on elite. Hard as shit. Just flew with 5 pieces of armor, with double laser behind the sides till the boss. ALmost impossible xD 1 mistake was game over.
I must agree, Tyrian is pretty boring after a while. Despite that i played through once, cause its somehow the grandfather odf games like Raptor i guess. The flying eyes and ears where pretty weird :D
And yes: This is the most kicka** level in the game! I remember triing to beat it on Elite for the first time o.0
Wow, I remember playing this back in 95, when I was just a kid.
It was only shareware though, and I remember watching the demo videos for the Tango Sector where the pilot would just tear through enemy waves like paper because of those lasers.
Same here. I used to envy the way the computer got through half of Tango Sector Wave 3 on Elite difficulty with only the Laser Turret and the Air/Ground Missile as its main weapons.
I've yet to try it out myself, but I think a video of me using the same loadout is coming very soon. All I need to do is get past Wave 2... :\
I always use the computer's weapons - Twin Laser and Air/Ground Missiles. I've done the whole game with this combination twice before, so I know that it works for me.
In my opinion, once you get to Tango Sector and Outer Regions, it is best to use a two-gun loadout so that you don't have to spend time switching between weapons. Using my loadout as an example, I use the Air/Ground Missiles to blow up buildings, and the Twin Laser for everything else.
Wow, it occurs to me in hindsight this game borrows a lot from Zarlor Mercenary. Pretty good game though. Best of its kind on PC from a western developer, I think.
Well, i now that the last wave is too dificult in elite, but i`have passed this with mot much problems, using the best weapon and 5 shields i really like this game.
Ooh.. Thanks for the flashback :-)

thor and odin are 2 nordic gods. in this game they are 2 weapons.
In my opinion you are wearing too many weapons. Twin Laser and Odin are enougth.
This game and Tyrian are the BEST MSDOS games, confirmed.

If you're trying to get both ground and air targets, the "thor" is your best option.
However I just like to stick with "odin" and CAL-10 "eclipse" twin laser.. I've never died while useing that combo with full phase shields.
And I can't seem to find this game anywhere.
