Which game? :D

Tyrian

I recently snagged journeyman project pegasus prime (Woo, finally have all 3 on here.), and most of the myst games except for 2, during that adventure sale.

"Good luck." ;)

Hit Microsol hard!

Yo! Yo! Not cool! With this joke you're trivialising the utter greatness that Tyrian is!

I'd gladly pay for Tyrian, and THAT IS NO JOKE! :D

Back in the day, you could have. If you were playing the game without paying or pirating it, you could only play the first chapter (which was still quite long), and if a certain data cube is to be believed, a few secret exits were unavailable.

By the way, is there any place I could get an unregistered shareware version of Tyrian? (This would be for research/educational purposes, of course.)

Well don't have to do it under the cover of research, isn't the point of shareware to copy/give to others?

The reason for the research explanation is the following:

Currently, the entire game is available for free, both as Tyrian 2000 and an older version as OpenTyrian; hence, somebody who just wants to play the game has no reason to look for an unregistered shareware version.

Hence, the only reason I could think of for wanting the shareware version is to see what the game used to be like, and to experience what restrictions the shareware version; hence the research explanation.

(By the way, one thing that's worth noting: Chapter 4 and 5 did not exist in the original release of the game; they were added later, which explains why the last stage of Chapter 3 is so difficult (it was originally the final level) and that you could realistically have a maxed or near maxed out ship at that point in the game.)

 
Dear ucuits heryder (or "(ʘ̅‿ʘ̅)" for short *), you probably found it already – but just in case, this would be what you are looking for, I guess : Tyrian © 1995 Eclipse Software / Epic MegaGames

Three files are available there (as well as a generous helping of informational links, plus a dozen screenshots) :
 
• tyrsw20.zip (Shareware, MS-DOS, 1782 KB)
• tyrup201.zip (Patch, MS-DOS, 438 KB)
• tyrianfaq.zip (FAQ, MS-DOS, 25 KB)
 
tyrsw20.zip download link and fetched file analysis at shows both as being safe (as of today, 2017 April 3rd at 23:34:49 UTC) – and indeed, why should it be otherwise, considering most (if not all) games listed on the DOS Games Archive site's [url=http://www.dosgamesarchive.com/sale/]Buy DOS games page refer to GOG in their "Download full version" section, stating the following along the way :
