Post subject: How to run Tyrian under Windows? |
 |
|
Could someone help me with getting Tyrian (the original game) to run under Windows? I've tried DOSbox (DOS emulator), but the game isn't supported (yet). I've also searched this forum, I found this in a thread by someone who had the same problem:
| Quote: | So, for example, after unzipping MOSLO into the same folder that Tyrian is in, you could type:
MOSLO /50 TYRIAN.EXE
And the game would run at 50% of normal speed. If the game still runs too fast, decrease the number ... so /10 would run at 10% of normal speed, /2 would run it at 2% speed, etc. |
That didn't work. I even tried 1%, but everytime I get this error:
| Quote: | | Runtime error 200 at 0006:301A. |
I use Windows XP. With Windows 98 somone gets almost the same error: at 000S:24ED.
Thanks in advance. |

| I had the same problem. I think you need Tyrian 2000. Or try an emulator like Bochs, VMware or VirtualPC. |

Thanks for the tip. Tyrian 2000 works well under Windows.
I just found the following about Tyrian 2000 on http://www.world-tree.150m.com/past.html:
| Quote: | | Due to the unavailability of the original Tyrian and several e-mails from people looking to buy the game, we decided to re-release it. With the inclusion of several bug fixes, a new episode, and a new game mode a new name needed to be chosen. That name, obviously, was Tyrian 2000. Tyrian 2000 is currently available through Symmetry Entertainment. |
But the website of Symmetry Entertainment is not available. Does anybody know where Tyrian 2000 can be purchased? |

| Try Epic Megagames or Epic Classics (I think they are reselling all of Epic's old games, probably including Tyrian 2000) |
