G'day mate! Things can be a bit confusing at times, so let me remind you what's going on... You are TY, the last of the Tasmanian Tigers. Raised by a family of Bilbies, you can only vaguely recall your real parents. You've always thought that all the other Tassie Tigers died a long time ago.
But then the Bunyip Elder found you, and told you that your family is alive, but trapped in the Dreaming. Now hold your horses... don't get upset... you see they're not stuck there forever, if you're up for a bit of an adventure!
You see, deep in the Outback, there's this kind of glowy portal thing that is a doorway to the Dreaming. And around that portal there are some carvings in the rock, where five ancient mystical Talismans used to lay. Now, all you have to do is find the five Talismans, put them in the carvings, and the portal to the Dreaming will open!
Now, before you go off like a frog in a sock, there's just this one SMALL problem. You see there's this evil cassowary - Boss Cass - who's also after the Talismans. Yes. THATALSO[/b trapped a whole bunch of your Bilby mates in cages all across the outback... something about overdue library books... Anyways, if you want to open the portal, you'll have to beat him and his henchmen to the Talismans!
Don't worry though, you won't be alone! You'll have a bunch of friends to help you along the way, including me - your old mate, Maurie. Now let's get down to brass tacks, find those Talismans, and rescue your family!

Mate… this isn’t just a game, this is a straight-up time machine in disc form. Booting up TY the Tasmanian Tiger doesn’t just take me back to my childhood—it dropkicks me through a portal straight into the early 2000s, where life was simpler, controllers had wires, and every mascot platformer was trying to outshine Crash and Spyro. TY wasn’t just another furry mascot—he was Australia’s answer to gaming greatness. Dual boomerangs? Iconic. That cheesy-but-charming Aussie accent? Legendary. Collecting opals and snagging Thunder Eggs? Peak dopamine. Every level drips with charm: from lush rainforests to outback deserts, this game gave us some of the most vibrant, personality-packed worlds of its era. The gameplay? Tight, fun, and creative. Every new boomerang upgrade made me feel like I was unlocking god-tier powers, even if it was just freezing water or setting enemies on fire. And the characters? Pure Saturday morning cartoon energy. Shazza, Sly, Boss Cass—they’re bur...
great games never get old
Childhood classic. Kinda crappy tbh but still enjoyable.
I first played Ty on the PS2 when I was younger (the game came out a few months after I was born). I played it on my aunt's PS2 whenever I visited and fell in love. I had forgotten about this game until a couple of years ago when I saw it had been remastered and ported to PC. I felt obligated to play it as it was a large part of my childhood. It's just as good as I remember. I had for the first time, completed the game with 100% and as of today I did the same on hardcore mode. This is by far my favourite game of all time.
My childhood <3
