Ty the Tasmanian Tiger

The first game chronicled the story of TY, the eponymous Tazzy Tiger trying to stop the villainous Boss Cass from reclaiming five talismans and unsealing the Dreamtime, which would let the cassowary wipe out all those mammals who usurped the dinosaurs' place. In a complete coincidence, recovering all the talismans allowed TY to reunite with his family and put Boss Cass behind bars. The game was a Collectathon Platformer based in traditional Australian outback locales and emphasized Ty's use of his different equippable boomerangs in combat and exploration.
