Has anyone beaten "Turrican" ?

[esteban]

I don't know why I can't make headway in Turrican when I've tackled Athena (NES) and Super Pitfall (NES).

Because until you do memorize where stuff is (especially enemies!), the game is brutal. This is one of those games that takes a certain level of patience to conquer. And yeah... if you didn't play it back in the day, it won't appeal to you very much today... it looks rather primitive and the difficulty is very frustrating.

I hear you.

It's because I suck at Turrican that I want to beat it (with no assistance). I don't feel that way about Falcon or Gunboat or Ballistix. Why? Because Turrican is in a genre I love and the fact that I suck at it annoys me .

I am actually considering playing Turrican on an Express.

And you thought I had tested the limits of my masochism?

Apparently not.
