I am thinking specifically about Explorers of Time/Darkness however, since those are the only ones I've played. The Pok?mon Myster Dungeon series, while not played as the traditional Pok?mon games, houses some true gems. If his standard theme would describe heading toward the event horizon, this theme describes passing it. It's like noticing that your spaceship is heading toward an event horizon fast.ĭecisive Battle! N. His standard theme has a sense of foreboding about it. The Equated Captives (Encounter! N) N is so cool! :* His encounter theme is also pretty cool. I tend to prefer battle or encounter themes over all other types of themes. Sadly, I don't have quite as many favorites when it comes to BW and BW2. I really like the buildup and aftermath in her theme. If it wasn't for the Team Galactic Admin battle theme being so good, this would be my favorite.īattle! Champion Cynthia. Pretty childish-sounding theme, but I think it's well made.īattle! Team Galactic Admin. The bass in Steven's encounter theme is really badass.ĭPPt has some of my favorite Pok?mon tunes:īattle! Rival. I won't list some of the more widely known themes like Battle! Lance/Red and such, because even though many of the older (Gen I & II) themes are very awesome, everybody knows them already.Ĭhampion Steven Stone. There's a lot of Pok?mon game music that I like too. I never got around to finishing Chrono Trigger, but there is one theme in that game that I particularly enjoyed: Frog's Theme. A modern classic in its own right.There is another soundtrack in GS: TLA that I think many forget: Jenna's Battle Theme. Billed as an affordable alternative arcade game, Tyrian 2000 serves to remind everyone that it doesn't always take a high budget gaming machine to satisfy. With 65 levels that span over 5 episodes, multiplayer modes, and the same furious gameplay that Tyrian fans miss, Tyrian 2000 deserves to go down in history as one of the best shooter sequels ever made. These tracks come in CD Audio format, so you can also play them in an ordinary CD player. The sound is very nice, with original synthesized music tracks, and a jukebox to play them outside the game. You have shields that are constantly diminishing, there's no way to prevent yourself from getting hit unless you have godlike reflexes, so you need to be careful. The high difficulty level of Tyrian is back, but even more difficult this time around. Eventually you can upgrade your rear, side, and front guns, making your ship a force to be reckoned with. Your flight takes you through a set of campaign missions, and credits are built up by collecting points and space coins which flip through the air after you destroy certain vessels. The difference between One Player Full mode and the other modes is the option to buy new parts for your ship before every level. You only have one life, but there are enough power-ups and add-ons to keep you going as long as you don't become careless. The goal in every mode is basically the same: blow away your enemies and rake in as many points you can, and try not to die. The game has three difficulty levels, 10 ships and over 100 weapons. The game offers several game modes including: One Player Full Game, One Player Arcade Game, Timed Battle, and Two Player Arcade Game. Instead of upgrading the original game's graphics to modern-day 3D pizzazz, the designers chose to use the same 2D VGA graphics that Tyrian fans are familiar with. First look at the game should comfort every old-school arcade fans that XSIV Games is on the right track. Newcomer XSIV Games had a lot to live up to in developing the unofficial sequel to this masterpiece, but fortunately, Tyrian 2000 more than deserves the Tyrian name. With excellent graphics, smooth animations, and many inventive enemies and levels, it remains one of the best-loved shooters that still stay on many fans' hard drives. Tyrian is one of the best top-down shooters ever made for the PC, period.
