the mega drive version looks better than the amiga version (better resolution and some extra animations) but the music conversion has been poorly done (just compare with mega turrican...) so yeah, soundtrack is better on amiga or ST

Follow the Turrican MDRR project on Twitter. You'll probably stop daydreaming as soon as that one is done.

Sound effects are good but I don't like the music. In fact it seems to be a common thing with Megadrive ports, they have poor music, even worse than ST version. I don't understand why, Megadrive has, on paper, much superior sound capabilities than ST.

I was going to say the nes version because it a hell of a lot like the nes version of super turrican

And how can they fuck up the music so badly? The turrican series always have awesome music (especially the snes and sega genesis version), I mean the music chip reminds me of altered beast for the genesis but the only difference is that altered beast is way better than this

@@Thewolfguys.cartoons2000 The company that developed this port was called "The Code Monkeys" so I'm gonna assume they were run by literal monkeys

@@thenate5367 ok

I know your comment was 2+ years ago, but I believe this is(more or less) a slight upgraded remake/16-bit remaster of the NES version; which only saw release in Europe. There's just a bit more sprite and color(or colour depending on where you're from) in this version.

Agree

I think the game looks worse than the Amiga version.

Put your crackpipe away.

@@supakusuta It doesn't look worse, its technically better but unfortunately due to the size of which cartridge they decided to use, a LOT of foreground tiles had to be replaced or removed entirely, look at the Alien world on both ports and you'll definitely see, it still graphically looks alright

@@turrican3839do you know what the rom size of the cartridge for this Mega Drive port?

@@Adamtendo_player_1 if I recall, this game uses the smallest cart available for a Genesis game which is 4-6 Megabytes

@LKCV Well, you're completely wrong about that. It doesn't struggle to play sfx and music at all on the Amiga. Your baseless comment about the ZX versions are also not even true. The ZX spectrum struggled much more to do that.

This game is Unlicensed

@@Vectormantudeoz It is actually licensed and official, despite the cartridge and box not looking like it

@@turrican3839 "Turrican is a run-and-gun game originally developed by Rainbow Arts for the Commodore 64. Rainbow Arts licensed Accolade to make console ports, one of them being an unlicensed Sega Mega Drive port released 1991. The game is not region protected" -Sega Retro

@@Vectormantudeoz they did at least got a license for Turrican 1 and 2 though

I think they should've fixed the speed of the game. The Genesis Turrican cart is region free & IMO it will actually play better on an Euro Mega Drive (50 Hz).

No, Accolade released a bunch of unlicsenced games under the Ballistic label, Including Double Dragon, Universal Soldier, Star Control, Super Off Road, Onslaught, Test Drive II : The Duel, Mike Ditka Power Football , Winter Challenge , Hardball! , and of course... Turrican.

yeah, this game would be better at 50Hz, due to Turrican 1 for the Mega Drive being made with the PAL standard in mind.

Eso explica muchas cosas

I doubt thats actually true

+notgrillo collector/ gamer bcoz its mega!

Maybe you know, but this isn't really a faster paced remix of Outpust. Rather, it's an issue in this longplay, as all musics are faster-paced because the game is being played at 60hz and the Mega Drive version doesn't like to be played that way, overspeeding all the musics. It gets corrected playing it at 50hz, so North Americans definitely got shafted with this release (it's an European development after all). Normally this situation was the opposite, with Europeans getting a lot of games slowing down the music on 50hz, the opposite situation was a much less frequent one and mirrors to what happened to the Mega Drive version of Shadow of the Beast. That one at least had a properly timed Japanese release, this one never had anything like that. Recently, Desko of the Turrican MDRR project (which probably will bring the best versions of Turrican and Turrican II the Mega Drive can give) has performed a sound fix to have the correct music speed while playing the Mega Drive version at 60hz.

"Mandela effect" at work here..

after receiving 100 of those you get continue, if I remember correctly

How come the graphics design of a 1990 Amiga game can be outdated for a 1991 Mega Drive release? The Master System wouldn't be able to keep with this by any chance, on that platform it would obviously feel much closer to the Commodore 64 version. This is obviously not the best conversion of an Amiga game but overexaggerated statements are also completely missing the point pretty much.

@@WeskerSega The C64 version *is* the original. According to Manfred Trenz, the game series (Turrican I & II) were developed and designed on that computer. As usual, Amiga lovers tends to believe the game was created on that console, but it wasn't

@@KurtPedersen-tg7jc I know the Commodore 64 version is the original design, as Manfred Trenz always targeted the Commodore 64, but obviously, for 16 bit conversions like the Mega Drive, you can't have the Commodore 64 as basis (which wasn't used as basis for any other conversion, by the way, as the other 8 bit versions are completely different) and you need to use what's considered the basis for 16 bit platforms, which is the Amiga version. This is why I asked how could he consider the Amiga version outdated for that time, and better suited on the Master System than on the Mega Drive. The Master System could have coped well with something closer to the Commodore 64 version, but not with this one.

@@WeskerSega The Amiga version of Turrican I is the same as the C64 version. Actually, the Amiga version of Turrican II are smaller than the C64 version -More hidden parts in the original 8 bit version. We have to remember that at the time (1990) the Turrican series were considered as a "big" game, so it's comparable to the original versions

@@WeskerSega I've played Turrican I on the Amiga for a few days ago, and honestly, I'm not impressed. Besides some extra colours and a slightly better resolution, the game is almost the same as the C64 version. Personally, I think the Megadrive is doing a good job here

Yeah, but check in options.

@@davidjskelet what, the options menu?

@@roderickstockdale1678 yep

@@davidjskelet 😂😂where can I find the screen on here?

Manic Sorceress This is FM synthesis...

+Manic Sorceress I don't know what sound driver developers used but it sounds weak compared to Amiga. Sound programmers screwed up their work. In Mega Turrican sound driver and music was created by Chris Huelsbeck, original composer and it sounds pretty similar to original.

The life bar goes down faster in the Genesis one as well.

Schlechter Sound ist auf dem Mega Drive fast Standard. Das Problem bei dieser Version ist nicht die Technik, sondern der Schwierigkeitsgrad.

It’s very hard

well i think you suk

Yanni C No. He's 100% right, though this was actually programmed by The Code Monkeys.

@@solarflare9078 Pretty sure he's just a troll that wants attention TBH. (Just an FYI, I'm actually a woman)

Data East was just the North American publisher of Mega Turrican. We have to thank them to rescue the game when it was left out with a publisher due to Konami signing off the deal they had with Factor, but really, all the merit on that one is down to Factor 5. Same as with this Turrican conversion, Accolade/Ballistic was the publisher but the development was carried out by The Code Monkeys.

@@WeskerSega Thanks for the correction. My bad!

I disagree. It is actually a great rendition of the soundtrack, noting the limitations of the hardware.

The PC Engine version removed most of the music entirely.😥

@@Seth-nt9bf Compared to mega turrican it's pretty tame.

Mega Turrican's music is MUCH better, yes.

Played on a Japanese Mega Drive or Genesis (60 Hz), the BGM tempo is a bit too quick compared to the Amiga. Game speed is faster as well. An Euro MD (50 Hz) will have the right speed for both gameplay & BGM- then the Genesis' music actually sounds not too bad, even if it falls short of the Amiga. I'm sure if Chris Hulsbeck worked on the Genesis one, it could've sounded really good.

You're so bad ☠️
