They could make a super-micromanagement-heavy flight simulator featuring Star Wars vehicles, and city-building!! |

I've said it! I can't even really play the original games; they're too hard for me to enjoy. Combine that with how rambly they are, and... yeah.
Turrican 2 is much better than the first. It's still rambly but to an extent rather than all the time. Turrican 3 is probably the best out of the C64 outings but that wasn't done by Factor 5 so I don't know if we should include it here or not.
The NES game is really hard, too.
Probably because the bosses move so fast. But it has really nicely drawn background tiles though the player sprite could have used a lighter shade of grey. There's even faked parallax on stage 3-1. Though I still prefer how the C64 does browns to the NES. |

I played Turrican extensively on my Amstrad CPC. I think maybe I completed it, but I can't remember.
For some reason, though, I could never beat the first midboss on Turrican 2 (for the CPC).
I'm intrigued by the PC version of Turrican 2. It looks so insanely different from the others - very much like a shareware game, even. |

I played Mega Turrican last night again. They really made a shit pie out of the music (which is disgustingly non-metal), but the roll is still in there, which I'd forgotten about.
Someone mention how Universal Soldier was a sprite hack of Turrican or else |

Not to derail the topic, but come on now. You are joking, right?
I was a total Genesis fanboy back in the day, and I had both systems, but the SNES has more than just seven games woth playing.
And since I'm going to get really busy very soon, so I won't be able to check back (maybe the topic will be split by then?), here's just eight...
1. Pop 'N Twin Bee
2. Super Mario World (the original is still better than the GBA remake)
3. Yoshi's Island (again about the GBA remake)
4. Link to the Past (again about the GBA remake)
5. Starfox
6. Un Squadron
7. Pocky and Rocky
8. Eathbound
... to name a few, and I know I've missed alot.
Sorry Rudie for spawning a list thread in advance. |

| Also: Metal Marines, Sparkster, Mario to the fucking Kart, Final Fantasy VI, Front Mission, etc. But I figure that line was just a super-lazy troll. |

No way man. I had a CPC6128 with a color monitor! Yes! I used to save up my monies for DISK games and everything.
Though my favourite game was probably Gryzor which was on tape. |

Mega Turrican has damned good music considering what Huelsbeck did with the sound hardware (it doesn't sound FM-y at all for the most part). Universal Soldier is a sprite hack of Turrican. |

Star Fox 2 is barely playable. I'm feeding the troll, I know.
I suggest you play many more videogames before you attempt to make definitive statements about the same! With emulators, so as to speed the process. Start with Yoshi's Island! I'd have thought you'd be glomphing over the Pop n' Twinbee stuff, at least. |

We'll use this thread.
I feel the elevator segment in stage one could have been two waves shorter. |

i've never played turrican. the annoying health bar thing is common in a lot of european games. i'm going to download turrican now, purely for the manowar comparision.
star fox 2 is the best game on the snes.
battle pinball is second.
wild guns is third. |

Awesome, I need an excuse to play this game. I actually own this one and it works without needing a game genie.
Oh, and I like the animation for his aiming. |
