Play Overview
Ty the Tasmanian Tiger (2002) is a simple and silly running, jumping and exploration game from the early 2000s. You play Ty as he searches for eggs to power a machine that will locate five scattered talismans and free his family. It's unusual for offering a collect-a-thon challenge, with minimal clutter and Wallace-and-Gromit-looking characters.
Play involves exploring the 3D levels to find the eggs and access the Talisman Machine to progress to the next zone. This requires you to run and jump around to reach different areas. You can attack enemies with his bite or dual boomerangs. As you progress you can upgrade your boomerangs to be more effective and useful.
Each level is cleared by collecting a certain number of eggs and getting to the end of the path. Once you have enough eggs you must find the Talisman Machine and defeat a series of boss enemies that then grant you access to a new zone.
The Ty the Tasmanian Tiger games are unusual for their exploration and battling play which made 3D platform games popular in the early 2000s. It's simpler than more recent games and focuses on fun and quirky characters rather than polish. The remastered versions upgrade visuals and bring them to modern consoles.
