  • Bonus Material: Tyrian 2000 includes a CD soundtrack with 25 tracks from the game, as pointed out on the box. The GOG.com re-release includes a digital soundtrack of 40 tracks from the game in MP3 format, taking much more disk space than the game itself.
  • Colbert Bump: Thanks to a review by Ross's Game Dungeon.
  • Cut Song: The music tracks "The MusicMan" and "The final edge" appear in the setup program's jukebox, but not in the game itself. (The former is part of the game's music library.)
  • Rereleased for Free: After XSIV Games, the original distributor and publishers of Tyrian 2000 went bankrupt, the developers opted to re-release the game as freeware in 2004, followed by releasing the game's source code and graphics under an open-source licence. In 2010, GOG.com also began distributing the game pre-packaged with DOSBox for free along with the game's soundtrack as a bonus.
  • What Could Have Been: The sequel was green-lighted by Epic MegaGames, but the project never started. Even to this day, no one at Epic Games bothered with remaking or rereleasing Tyrian on Epic Games Store, making it a Stillborn Franchise.
