Be ready for the mind blowing and thrilling game! Please meet the cult "Tyrian" game (one of the best "vertical scrollers" ever!) on the Windows Phone platform!
The game is set in the year 20,031. You play the role of a skilled terraforming pilot named Trent Hawkins, who is employed to scout out habitable locations on newly terraformed planets. His latest assignment is the planet Tyrian, which is located near the territory of the Hazudra, who are a lizard-like race.
One day, Buce Quesillac, a Hazudra and Trent's best friend, is shot in the back by a hoverdrone which quickly disappears into the sky. Buce lives just long enough to tell Trent that the attack was the work of MicroSol, the giant corporation who controls the terraformation of Tyrian. They want Buce dead because of his knowledge of Gravitium, which is a special mineral, unique to Tyrian, able to control the force of gravity.
Microsol want to use Gravitium to power their warships, which could result in them becoming nearly unstoppable. They will stop at nothing to eliminate anyone who knows of its existence. Trent is the next person on their hit list, and Buce implores him to try to reach Savara, a free world. With that, Buce dies. Trent manages to secure a small fighter, and departs for Savara.
Original scrolling shooter computer game was developed by World Tree Games Productions and published in 1995 by Epic MegaGames. This Windows Phone port is based on the OpenTyrian implementation.
Game is free but has some IAPs to make your life in the Tyrian world a little easier
You may control your spaceship with finger or accelerometer. I've also added an "Autofire" button to simplify battle controls (but don't forget to turn off autofire sometimes - it uses your ship energy!)

Enjoy and don't forget to rate this game by 5 stars!

wow... this game remind me how i am old hehehe

@dxdy, don't ask me about the age

Good stuff man
Just one thing, is it possible that you can implement touch control where the spaceship follows the finger you have pressed on touch press like the iphone port does.
It mostly unplayable for me with the controls that's currently implemented in your OpenTyrian app.

@KyouKeiKen, I'm really sorry buddy, but personally I hate that kind of control what you've described It's pretty unnatural and unrealistic - spaceship can't do a "micro hyper-jumps" like this (I mean "follow the finger" control - i.e. you want ship to move exactly where you touched screen). I just trying to follow the good old traditions...
P.S. You may try to use accelerometer control mode; at least my beta-tester completed first mission with both types of controls (it's about "usability")...

@sensboston, Fair enough since the original game didn't have that feature. The accelerometer controls isn't my cup of tea athough. I believe most people like me would be happy with virtual on-screen analog stick controls or arrow keyboard controls like your Dosbox app
