Turrican? Tell me more.

Apparently this is considered one of the best games of all time? Odd, because I have never heard of it. For a second I thought I was getting it mixed up witjh the European censored robot version of Contra (the existence of which is hilarious by the way). The game does seem to have a pretty strong Euro following.

But anyway I saw the kickstarter campaign from the original composer about remastering the music and my curiosity was piqued.

Sort of a tunnel-creeper/ platformer if I recall. Fun game back then.

Awesome games, both 1 and 2. The music is great too!

I honestly never liked the first two Turrican games

I fraking LOVED mega turrican though, one of the best games on the Genesis imo

Ok wow...seems like I am the only one then that has never heard of this game despite the fact that I was the perfect age for it. The music sounds very Megan Man esque.... I mean, granted, the guy has already met his funding goal, but it might be worth investing in his kick starter just to get the limited edition box set.

Still surprised that a game that is such an apparenty nostalgic classic with music that significant is something that never popped up on my radar till now.

The composer is called chris huelsbeck he was considered one of the best during the commodore 64 days

you should search for some of his work on the commodore, Amiga and even some of the consoles, he's pretty good. Not sure why he faded into obscurity though
