My first experience with it was on TG, I beat it and hated it, esp the lame rocket ship escape at the end. I hated Turrican 1 on everything. Mega and Super Turrican however I enjoyed alot.

Now would rate the second below the first. I enjoyed the first Schbibin Man, it had great music and I liked the style of platforming where learning the levels was a real benefit. The second one just leaves me feeling cold.

drop off is the worst game ever made.

But Double Dungeons, Sonic Spike, and Battle Royal??  Those are all insanely fun multiplayer games!!

people that don't like those games must not have any friends..... or maybe they don't have a multitap and more controllers.

I like the first Shubibinman for the very reasons you cited, but I can't blame anyone for rating it low.  The controls are very poor and it has severe repetition issues, mainly and most obviously with the backgrounds, but also with enemy and obstacle types.  I liked the second game a bit more because it actually felt very rewarding.  It gets surprisingly tough towards the end.

I agree on Double Dungeons.

Turrican is only bad if you're already used to the Amiga original. If you didn't play that first, Turrican rocks on the TG.

I never played Turrican on the Amiga- and the TG version couldn't have been less rocking.  The wettest, smelliest dog of a hucard. 

Add Titan to the list- enormous suck value.

I've never played Amiga Turrican, yet I'll agree that Turbo Turrican rocks..... by which I mean that it should be buried and crushed under a gigantic pile of rocks.  I don't mind a fair challenge, but Turrican is just cheap (and none too pretty either).

For multiplayer goodness, I indulge in Bomberman '93, Dungeon Explorer, Motoroader, and Aeroblasters. I still think Double Dungeons and Battle Royale stink.  :-#

I like the second more i guess for it's megaman style of game play.

The frist one to me doesn't feel right to me with it's floatly controlls and all.

Though i got any ways just so i have the serise complete at least,it was dirt cheap to pickup.

I wouldn't call MC ass either. It's very different, but that doesn't stop it from being a decent game on it's own. Plus it's loaded with nifty multiplayer mini-games.

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

Titan's one of those crappy games you can spend hours with if you were feeling tired and didn't feel like doing anything else.

The arcade segments in It Came From The Desert are some of the most awful I have ever seen. Even homebrew stuff that I made years ago was better.
