Tyrian is still fantastic 30 years later!

I've probably played this game for over a hundred hours. Great soundtrack too, by Alexander Brandon. I also loved the minigame hidden behind the DESTRUCT cheat code.

And it's open source too!

The soundtrack really is fantastic...I spent many an hour as a kid listening to it in the jukebox mode with its super groovy visualizations!
