and Ghingold, who is currently typing this right now (therefore disproving the speculation that his existence is mere speculation),
Fairly clever, but that kind of self-reference does not belong in an encyclopedia article.  I have removed the problematic prepositional phrase.  --Ardonik.talk()* 10:11, August 9, 2005 (UTC)
I haven't seen anything about a Tyrian 2. Unless someone has a reference, vain speculation about imaginary vaporware does not belong in the article. Whoever keeps readding it, please stop. When the game has a website, or an article, or a development blog, or something, it'll be welcome on this page. But not before. grendel|khan 23:18, August 11, 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Self-reference

message: The image in this article might need to be changed to one of the main menu instead. This is an edited version that appears on the listed fansite; it's partially copyrighted by the guy who made it in addition to World Tree Games' copyright. Is it being used with or without his consent? I'll do this later unless someone's faster than me. --Michiel Sikma 22:43, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Umm... Err... (nervous laughter) I've changed it to a screenshot of the menu and put the logo up for speedy deletion. --MindlessXD 23:41, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Why is it never mentioned that Tyrian and One Must Fall 2097 take place in the same fictional universe? Tyrian mentions WAR, HARs and the character who mentiones them is Steffan Thomas - one of the playable characters in OMF2097.
:It's just a reference to it. Besides, as I recall, Tyrian takes place nowhere near the Sol system. One of the endings has Trent travelling to earth, but it will take 100 years.--Drat (Talk) 02:26, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I don't remember to see such game mode. What is de "special code" and where to put it? It sound like rumour to me. SSPecter talk ♠ 12:02, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure anymore what the special code was. I'll check later. I believe that if you typed E N G A G E at the main menu, you'd get Super Tyrian mode, although that might have simply been one of the extra modes. It definitely does exist, though. It's a special game in which you fly the minigame ship (e.g. the same ship you get in the Beer and Soh Jin minigames) which cannot be upgraded, yet the game is at "Lord of the Game" difficulty, the toughest there is. If you hold down scroll lock while typing, you'd get Super Tyrian mode at "suicide" difficulty, which is slightly easier. I beat the "suicide" difficulty version, and I'm proud of it, but I was never able to get past a certain point in the former mode... —msikma (user, talk) 20:23, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It does exist, as I remember playing it, but as for it being called Super Tyrian, I have no idea either. --Wirbelwindヴィルヴェルヴィント (talk) 23:56, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Super Tyrian??? 

message: I just happened across this article.  There were three main drivers on Tyrian.  Alex Brandon on the music and story,  Jason Emery on programming and level design and myself, Daniel Cook on art and interface design. Robert Allen also helped out as the Producer and liaison with Epicgames. I think everyone on the team would agree that Jason took on the lion's share of the work and was the biggest driving force behind the project.  You can find links to MobyGames credits here: http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/tyrian/credits
:Well, here are the full credits for Tyrian 2000, they're a bit different:
Jason Emery: programming, level design, additional artwork, weapon design, 
additional sound FX
Alexander Brandon: story, music, coordinator, design, online help
Daniel Cook: level artwork & design
Robert Allen: our eminent producer, additional sound FX, additional design
Arturo Sinclair: 3d artwork, title design
Bruce Hsu: character portrait design
John Calcagno: 3d animation
Andrew Paquette: character portrait artwork, additional 3d artwork
Andreas Molnar: LOUDNESS Sound System programming & music conversion
Susan Aldworth: Voices
Nando Eweg: sound FX
Many thanks to Tim Sweeney (basically, master of all), Mark Rein (manual 
design & marketing), Arjan Brussee, Cliff Bleszinski, and Rob Elam 
(entertainment).
:What would be really helpful for the article is a general writeup of the development of Tyrian. This would have to be on your website (not here) so it can be referenced. There's a bit of good information here, I have no idea if you even remember anything more. --Teggles 01:27, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Screw that, I've found the "TyrianFunDoc", which has far more development information than I could've hoped for. I've expanded the Development section, if anything is wrong, please tell me. --Teggles 06:56, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Tyrian Ships.png

message: As the article states (more or less), the game is now Open Source, and unsuprisingly as such, the game now runs on more platforms than just MS-DOS and Windows. Considering that it doesn't have its own article, perhaps a special notation should be put in the 'platforms' section that Tyrian's Open Source reslease, Open Tyrian, also runs on Linux and (apparently, though I personally don't know) Mac OS X... as well as whatever other platforms it has been verified to run on. If you feel it inappropriate to make that change specifically, then it should at least be added that Open Tyrian also supports other platforms. (though that may be too vague for an encyclopedia entry)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.54.188.84 (talk) 18:15, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Bad grammar

message: There is a special "difficulty" section but it does not mention that the difficulty setting is increasing automatically from episode to episode. The highscore table confirms this. However, I'm not sure if I fully understand the way the difficulty setting changes as in my case the game seems to have reduced the setting to "hard" again on episode 1 upon beating the game (but I'm not sure on this). I also noticed that in my case (Tyrian 2000) the names of the difficulty settings are different than in the article. Mine are "insanity", "suicide" and "maniacal". I'll take a guess that this is because the article mentions the settings from the original Tyrian or Tyrian 2.0 instead of Tyrian 2000. Someone maybe should add this information. --94.223.80.53 (talk) 08:38, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Difficulty setting 

message: OK, so in addition to the well-known Destruct (obtained by typing in a code at the menu), the article mentioned Zinglon's Ale, Zinglon's Squadrons, and Zinglon's Revenge as additional minigames... where do these take place in Tyrian, and/or how are they arrived at? I never heard of them before and there's no mention anywhere else in the article about e.g. running across them as breaks in the more frenetic action in-between certain levels. Anyone got any info, or has this been added by mistake into the wrong article? 193.63.174.254 (talk) 15:25, 3 November 2016 (UTC)
