I'm trying to not ask (completely) stupid questions, I just wanted to clarify some things for my own peace of mind.

The images are all but public domain, yes; this didn't happen until after we'd started work porting. However, no, we don't have explicit permission for the music or sound effects. However, these are available freely as a download from Jason's personal site. While it would be nice to package the whole thing up without requiring other downloads, we'd need to talk to Jason and/or Alex Brandon about the remaining data files.
BTW, yes, the license is GPL. Also, the svn repository (using Google Code) allows anonymous read, so anyone who wants to try building it is welcome to do so. Can't promise it'll work for everyone, though.

To think about it on logical terms, I don't see why they would keep them all to themselves: There is not a very good chance they could profit on this anymore. I miss the days of individual game companies  |

I see by the replies that you want to keep the original port as close to the Pascal as possible, but after that could I help out with it? I'm much much more accustomed to C++, but I really want to help out on expanding this.
Also, I'm having trouble compiling this in Windows. Mainly getting MinGW's make to run the makefile. Ugh, I have these problems everytime I reformat...
Anyway, so my current error is
*** No rule to make target `obj/backgrnd.o', needed by `tyrian'. Stop.
I'm guessing all the rest would follow suit (background.o is the first file in the makefile).

Hmmm. Did you check out correctly? And do you have an obj directory? Also, change PLATFORM to WINDOWS on the Makefile. If you need more help go on #tyrian at freenode.
To people asking about graphics, yes they are free, but since it's only the graphics, they are useless, since they aren't in datafile format and you need the rest of them anyway.

Okay, I finally got it working. I wasn't running the makefile from the openTyrian directory.
Looks nice! Making a lot of progress, I see!

Wow. Wow. I just can't really think of any other words. Wow.
This is an amazing project, and it definitely has my interest. This will be a great addition to Tyrian's legacy. Best of luck!

When do you think you'll be near some kind of 'release'? I'm still excited  |

I think we'll only release the classic port once it's done. I would say were about halfway done on the porting.

I suggest you read up on how to use svn and what compiling is.
