Has anyone beaten "Turrican" ?

[storino03]

So I was going through the games I haven't popped in yet, since I got a TG16 bundle off of Craigslist in March/April. I can't even get past the first level! Just seems like my power level goes down really fast. The music is pretty sweet though

I have it coming in the mail as of tonight..    So, hopefully it wont whoop up on my ass too badly.

This one has been in my watch list a few times, but I keep missing out by $1.     Maybe I'll avoid it if it's an impossible game.

I posted a complete playthrough of this game on youtube, split up into four videos (one for each world).

World 1:
World 2:
World 3:
World 4:

Please note though that I am a very experienced player of this game and make it look rather easy.

This game is a monster, I think I did beat it, but with cheats.  I suck anyways, so it's rare for me to beat alot of the old action games, though I have my moments.

Rover is a machine. He'll probably need to swoop in and conquer Turrican and half a dozen other games if that "Beating every Turbo game" thread is going to see completion.

With Turrican you need to have ALOT and i mean ALOT of Patience.

Very nearly completed it on the Amiga, but there's a gamebreaking bug where you can get trapped and never get out.  I was furious, as it was (and is) one of my favorite games.

This game is annoying hard, not challenging hard.  I have never been able to beat it, but I honestly have never played it enough either, because the game sucks.

Beat this game when I was a teen. You get into a dumb buck rogers like rocketship at the end and escape, and the mechtower thing kinda explodes, if you call large chunky rocks flying out of it as exploding. Was pretty lame.

It's a love or hate kind of game for most it seems.  I grew up with the amiga and ST, so I was always into Turrican.  I personally love the game on the turbo.  Other versions of turrican after this one have you bounce back when you get hit.  The enemies don't go through you and REALLY drain your energy like this version.  It makes it more enjoyable to play.

Sadly, the ending is one of the best parts of the game.

Taking it out and never playing it again is the best part.


Turrican sucks.  It's what happens if Metroid and Contra have a kid, and the kid turns out to be a mongoloid.

wah?  I love turrican.   

There's a free fan remake out there.  I haven't played it, but it looks good.

Not me.  Turdican is waaay too tough and cheap for me.

I am a champion of unloved games, but I still can't find mind room in my heart for Turrican HuCard.

I haven't totally given up on it. But I'm not about to invest time in it, yet.

Of course, I've been saying this for 20 years.
