Has anyone beaten "Turrican" ?

[KingDrool]

The only way I ever enjoyed this game was with the cheat codes on. The game is stupid hard. I like fun-difficult games. But Turrican never was fun for me.

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

Brilliant!

There are cheat goes for the TG16 game? Or do you mean on an emulator?

invincibility code, no emulator required

Oh sweet. Might give it a chance just to play through the game. Though there are some games where you have to purposely die in order to advance. Not saying this is one of them--just came across a few in the past.

Got to World 1-3 and stopped (after using the code). Game is really bland and boring

[ParanoiaDragon]

Yeah, I've never considered it awesome, bland sounds about right, though, I'm not one to talk, since I do enjoy games like Impossamole & Tale Spin.

only on the Amiga (and c64), where it belongs to

In keeping with Turrican-related news, there was a kickstarter a few months ago for some 4 disc Limited Edition soundtrack by the original musician. It got funded. I was going to do it, but ultimately canceled my pledge.

Impossamole is easily twice as good as Turrican.  I actually mildly enjoy Impossamole.

I can sadly say I have never beaten ANY Turrican (TG, GEN, SNES or other).  It is just too much for me.

On the flip-side, there is a new Dreamcast game called Gunlord (quick call the police! I'm talking about a non TG game!  ), that is similar is style but MUCH more fun and easier (at least to me anyway).

[storino03]

Gunlord is also on Neo Geo if I'm not mistaken; a huge pricetag too.

Only $40 new on Dreamcast!

MY DILEMMA: I occasionally (once every year or three) try to tackle Turrican.

I don't use any assistance (no guides/FAQs/videos) because it is immensely more enjoyable to figure out everything myself.

BUT, I'm wondering if I should just throw up my arms and watch Rover's videos.

They are tempting me...
