A video showing how to survive when "ENGAGE" is activated. Episode 2: First level (Torm). To activate "ENGAGE", just type it on the main screen, just as I did.

your finish gyges en maniacal mode?

[DreadNuke]

@kocakoboot I got past Maniac. It refused to record my high scores from there on. Went from one episode to another without that "insert name here" stuff.

Not bad! Pretty awesome skillz!

[DreadNuke]

Well... thank you! I'll postmore videos as soon as I find my copy of tyrian (formatted my old hd, but the backup is hidden somewere).

tyrian is classic

Not bad at all. But is there a particular reason you've used the Warflyes? I think that the BattleShip-Class-Firebomb is really better (Left,Right,Down,Hold fire,Right, I think).

The Engage Mode was really suicidal. I actually managed to beat the whole game on it, playing with the mouse (it really makes a difference). It was hell ; most levels needed to be fully memorized as to know when to repair, turn invulnerable, destroy or avoid... All this just for the code of the NortShipZ?!

Whenever he repairs his armor, I automatically check my Skype/Gmail chat...

3:12 how to release mini bombs ???

@DreadNuke look my video of gyges

[ThinBear4]

The SDF Main Gun is actually the power and main weapon of this ship. That beast can obliterate most bosses within seconds!

[ThinBear4]

Maan... double Fireflies suck. I prefer Gerund + Firebomb. It's far more destructive and besides, firebomb blasts in all directions.

If you don't know all tyrian twiddles (those special moves like lightning or summoning companion ship) there is a site that shows all of them for all ships and modes (in full game each ship has it's own set of twiddles, like armor regeneration, freezing blast or what I like to call "microbomb frenzy" ^^)

[GiftMacker99]

Yes. It's activated near Christmas. Maybe in December, as you say, not sure (once it kept going till February for me).

And there's the parameter too, which I mentioned in my previous comments.

[DreadNuke]

@GiftMacker99 Isn't the Xmas mode just a pallete swap that's activated every time the system clock reaches december? There's a parameter that activates it on the spot, but it's activated every december, isn't it?

[GiftMacker99]

You can ACTIVATE it anytime, by using the parameter.

You ARE TOLD the parameter, however, only under some specific circumstances.
