[](/lsquee) Yep! I've got the (free) android port on my phone and tablet and I've got both openTyrian and Tyrian 2000 setup on my MAME cab so I can play it with joystick / buttons like an arcade shmup.
Original Tyrian (not including the extra campaign added for Tyrian 2000) was made free to everyone under the Creative Commons license, so there are versions of it everywhere. I think this Android version plays pretty well. And Tyrian 2000 is available in browser from the Internet Archive.

Originally a DOS game. Long since open sourced. Shmup with a robust upgrade path, and an actually hilarious story.
Perhaps a lesser known port - OpenTyrian. It's a port of a top down space shoot 'em up from back in the DOS Era.
I also found a list here of ported and/or good android games here - https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidGaming/comments/4aixyw/complete_list_of_good_android_games_and_ports_for/
I rinsed the Marathon Trilogy!
God I was into Bungie back then.
I also loved Tyrian 2000. It's FREE on GOG.com... yay! Ther's an open source version of Tyrian on Android, called OpenTyrian.
>That along with Tyrian
Tyrian is available on Android, if you're interested. My childhood was also spent playing it on PC, but it plays surprisingly well as a mobile game.

Episode 2: Treachery
Level: Soh Jin
Takes place on the planet of the same name. Fight a arseload of enemy ships and moving barriers. The last one is too fast to dodge.
Tried weak ship, with maxed out weapons. Nope.
Strong ship, with weak weapons. Nope.
In the end I used the invincibility cheat F2 + F3 + F6 to win.
Luckily you could replay levels whenever you wanted. You didn't have to start from the beginning.
Still a fun game and got through the rest of the levels fairly easily.

This game it's really just a port of an old dos game and is better played on a PC. However, since it's free (free free no microtransaction bullshit) you really can't lose.
> Episode quality
Meh, I thought the last one blew and blew hard, the rest have been alright. I think A Hearth's Warming Tail has been my favorite of this season so far and that's cause the music was really really good.
Tyrian. Best SHMUP ever,on your phone for free! Has a great campaign mode where you can buy all kinds of ships/weapons/shields and arcade mode where it's just getting powerups. Tons of secrets to find, including a hidden game and many hidden levels.
Only drawback is that the combo moves don't work as well as the original, which makes the game a bit harder for some ships.
I still love Tyrian! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.googlecode.opentyrian
One of my favorite, ported from PC
Tyrian (non shareware version with ALL levels)

Tyrian - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.googlecode.opentyrian
I know I saw Descent or Descent 2 at some point, never on the play Play Store though.
OpenTyrian (port of tyrian 2000) is an oldie but a goodie. Just remember to save your progress before you quit
it's on the play store! the game and resource were open sourced so it's fully free

Homeworld 1 and 2. Almost nothing else like it and the remasters from Gearbox are great.
Supreme Commander and Forged Alliance. Still play these. A modern multithreaded engine version of this would be so nice to have, SupCom2 got the engine I wish the first and expnasion had but the sequel just isn't the same.
KotOR 1 and 2. Just play them, everyone should.
Tyrian. Great game, great music, great writing, is vertical shooter where you don't go through bullet hell. Windows Android Mac
Halo. It's fucking 20 years old now but it's still great.

Open Tyrian is awesome, a port of the original source, with cleaned up graphics from the original artist.
