NAME

       opentyrian - an open-source port of the DOS game Tyrian

SYNOPSIS

       opentyrian [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

       Tyrian  is  an  arcade-style vertical scrolling shooter.  The story is set in 20,031 where
       you play as Trent Hawkins, a skilled fighter-pilot employed to fight MicroSol and save the
       galaxy.

       Tyrian features a story mode, one- and two-player arcade modes, and networked multiplayer.
