Beside the
royal purple-
red color known as
Tyrian purple, and a crazy branch of the
Elk's
lodge, this is a
DOS based
video game,
vertical scroller style.
Tyrian was my favorite form of mindless destruction when I was a youngin'. This game has a classic soundtrack, cheese-goodness graphics and a plot that's thinner than most supermodels.
Oh God I loved it.
Oh yes, "The Tyrian" , or Tyr, is the Teuton God of justice and true law, misinterpreted by the Romans as the God of War. A quote from a Tyr site:
" Tyrian Spirituality is often called a Code of Honorable Conduct. Tyr and Zisa can give one great strength, but it comes with two great responsibilities:
- It must never be used for evil;
- The strong must always protect the weak."
Guess there is more to my name than that silly DOS game I used to play...
