Classic Game Room reviews MEGA TURRICAN for Sega Genesis released in 1994. From Data East and Rogue Squadron developer Factor 5 comes this amazing 16-bit action platformer with some of the best style and music ever created for the mega Sega MEGA DRIVE. Mega Turrican rocks with rocking music (some of the best on the Sega Genesis!) and awesome 16-bit visuals that explode with colors, details and lots of motion. Mega Turrican is a feast for the eyes and ears as well as for those who want a serious challenge! Fight waves of enemies using a slim selection of weapons but hunt down numerous one-ups and collect gems (which is risky!) for extra points. Mega Turrican has enough gameplay and charm to keep any Mega Drive fan happy for quite some time. CGR Mega Turrican video review has Mega Turrican gameplay recorded from Sega Genesis (Sega Mega Drive).

In my opinion, this is one of the best games on the Genesis. It has highly detailed graphics, smooth and fast gameplay, and great music. The programmers also made nice color choices.

I remember playing this gem back when it was released, and I just couldn't believe my eyes and ears! There're so many things done right in this game that it is just overwhelming. From the scaling and rotating sprites to the shadow/highlight transparency effects, coupled with the unbelievable soundtrack, it was just crazy to think it was all running on a stock MD. Pity not so many MD games had this level of graphical and sound refinement!

I had no idea this game existed. I had the normal Turrican for the Megadrive (which came in a cardboard box). Man that game was ball-breakingly hard. The makers didn't understand the concept of a 'gentle learning curve'.

Sega Genesis Can Scale???? Good Job Sega!!

@liquidextal 8 жыл бұрын

+Matthew Calderon yeah its possible but requires some good programming. rotation has to be done completely in software on the genny. for scaling you can rewrite the scroll registers somewhat during HBLANK which allows for faster vertical stretching.

@Yuuretsu 8 жыл бұрын

Sega Genesis can't scale, in theory at least. developers quickly had to replace sprites with self-made smaller or bigger versions of sprites to make it seem like they were getting smaller or bigger. The same principle applies for PC Engine games. It's a lot of work to make it look smooth and many developers just didn't want to put in the effort.

@christopherwalkinalloverya5824 7 жыл бұрын

Marco Wolken The Genesis could do scaling/rotation through software coding, although the hardware technically wasn't capable. Some good examples of scaling in Genesis games include the Road Rash series, and the intro of Splatterhouse where a skull scales towards the screen. The Genesis was also capable of FMV, as seen in the intro to Sonic 3D Blast. It could even push polygonal graphics.

2 months old and all, but... Mega Turrican was first developed on the Genesis and then ported to the Amiga. Also, the soundtrack is much better on the black beast... for me, at least. Turrican 2 was better on Amiga, though.

@neohideo 12 жыл бұрын

Turrican games were known in Europe for Amiga computers (Commodore Amiga 500 was very popular computer in Europe)

@katakisLives 11 жыл бұрын

Some of the backgrounds were certainly more vibrant on the Megadrive but the music on the Amiga version (Turrican 3) blew this away! Far more layers far better continuous melodies! Musically the Amiga version cannot be beat and that makes it the superior version because the music of Chris Hulsbeck is vital in the enjoyment of this series!

@handrewmillan4293 Жыл бұрын

maybe you should get into collecting vinyl records if you prioritize musice over gameplay

@katakisLives Жыл бұрын

@@handrewmillan4293 The gameplay is no different on either of the games and the soundtracks on the Turrican games is of supreme importance And the music is vastly superior on the Amiga. the Sega Genesis has never had a great reputation for its music or sound effects

Couldn't agree more with this review. This game is Mega Awesome, I have it on both Megadrive and Amiga (installed as WHDLoad), and their both great. Graphics on stage 1 is better on the MD (as it is on a few later stages) bu the Amiga catches up quite a bit later on, and the music is way better (specially from stage 2 going forward). Fantastic game is an understatement...

@talideon 12 жыл бұрын

Well, it is based on it *indirectly* as Manfred Trenz himself described Turrican as a cross between Psycho Nics OSCAR and Metroid.

Myself too I kinda prefer the Super Nes version also but hey all versions of Turrican are great in their own way...There are only 3 decent freeware versions of this game, they are "Turrican 2002" which is true to the Amiga original, "Turrican 4 Funeral" which is a fan-made ending to the franchise & lastly probably the best version "Hurrican" which uses a cyborg character to take over where the original protagonist died away via Turrican 4 Funeral....Long live Turrican!

AGREED! 'Genesis' sounds pretty epic, too ;) And some of the names meant things, too like Neo-Geo which literally means 'new ground' which was highly accurate to the system. XBOX, Playstation, Wii, etc. will never have the same nostalgic charm as PC-Engine, TurboGrafx 16, Mega CD, Wondermega, Master System, etc. Shame about the Jaguar, though. An utter waste of an awesome moniker lol
