This was my Super Mario...played it for hours and hours ... Growing up in Germany it was just that game the cool boys played instead of Sega Mega Drive or Super Nintendo...I remember having a lot of cracked games but this and part 2 my father purchased. I also had a gamers magazine with interviews of the Factor-5 team and Turrican was the reason I learned programming in Basic and C+. Then I went to making electronic music...the Techno & Trance scene in Germany by was incredible in the 90ies and the soundtrack of Turrican still is ok one of the best ever composed/sequenced/created. My buddy bought the actual Soundtrack CD because we enjoyed the soundtrack so much... 😂 So much fun back then...we all spent all day outside playing soccer, skateboarding, BMX stuntin' 🤣 and exploring natural preservation areas...but when it was cold or raining we meet at my parents house and played Amiga or Super Nintendo....my uncle had a ridiculous Amiga 3000 and a Neo Geo he paid tons of money for back then....fun times.

Recently there was an interview with the main programmers and Chris Huelsbeck. What the development was like at factor five. It was a wild ride. The scrolling maps were cutting edge technology they developed, surviving on coffee to get the game done, while Chris making the soundtrack and play testers in a different room smoking weed. Can't get more 90s than this game. They now all live in the united states when they got hired and work for epicgames, I believe with taking part of developing the unreal engine and Chris moved with them, but does his own thing, still composing music.

This game has everything: great controlling, magnificent graphics, awesome soundtrack... One of the best Amiga games i ever played!

Turrican is ABSOLUTELY AWESOME and STUNNINGLY AMAZING

My favorite amiga game of all time. The music was so good, and it was a joy to play.

Amiga .. aah that was a nice time to grow up .. These games where awesome.. 👍👍👍👍

This is by far the best ever platform shooter on the Amiga. I can´t understand why more people didn´t see it. It really had no comptetition what so ever. Awesome fluent gameplay, vivid colors, smooth animations and an AWESOME soundtrack. Most other platform shooters didn´t even have in-game music. Not only does Turrican have music, it also KICKS ASS.

i never played it, but god this music so good

About time some guy uploads HD full gameplay of the best game of the trilogy.

His run animation is iconic. I think it’s the best standard run animation in 2-D gaming history with only maybe Alien Soldier being of the same quality. Something about it just seems natural and fluid but dynamic at the same time.

Turrican is the only game I completed on the Amiga A500. I love the music, it’s just so good.

Such an awesome game. I will always prefer T2 on amiga, but there is no denying how great the structure and leveldesign of T1 is.

Turrican, Speedball 2, and Chaos Engine were a big part of my childhood.

"Turrican started its life in 1989, while the Berlin Wall was crumbling, as a technology demonstration for the Commodore 64 created by Manfred Trenz. As project director, I started the Amiga version around Christmas, improving on the C64 version thanks to the 16-bit prowess of the Amiga. Smooth movement in infinite directions, an unprecedented amount of action, and the level of graphics, sound and music that we wanted, seemed impossible at the time. Holger Schmidt and Achim Moller proved the world wrong with their brilliantly inventive code, surpassing every crazy goal I set out and defining arcade action for the Amiga." -- Julian Eggebrecht, director "Turrican was a true change of era for everyone involved. For me personally, it signified me having left the Commodore 64 and truly embracing the Amiga. Turrican would eventually become one of my greatest accomplishments. The inspiration ranged from Vince DiCola's incredible works to the sounds of Japanese arcade games with their ability to excite the gamers. The combination of incredible graphics, design and a rich, bold synth rock soundtrack led Turrican to become one of Amiga's most fondly beloved titles, and it never seems to ever lose its popularity." -- Chris Huelsbeck, musician

I probably completed this game at least 100 times.

holy carp...that intro gave me goosebumps XD...amazing game!

One of my first computer games, first on the C64. Yes, this was an original C64 game which was later transferred to Amiga and ST. Played parts 1 and 2 on the 64 with much joy and when I eventually got my A500, of course I played both games on that machine all over again and it was like old love renewed. Glorious days. T3 on the Amiga was not my cup of coffee, however. Cannot say why.

Sick game!! They dont make them like that today.....

What made Turrican great was it had the confidence to be fun. New games lack self confidence. Turrican would let you absolutely spam your firepower across the screen and still most enemies took just one shot to kill. Turrican said screw you, I can let you feel powerful and have fun and still be a challenge at the same time.

I got a thing for sure... the music was written by Chris Huelsbeck...

Chris Huelsbeck, of course still a LEGEND today!

The cracked copy I had always crashed before the end. Never could beat it back in the day. Some of the best music ever composed in a game!

sounddesign soo satisfying

I was obsessed with this game on the Amiga when it was first released. Watching the play now, I don't remember that the character wasn't centered. Why would they have him to thirds of the way he is running. At lease he should have been in the centre or perhaps two thirds back seeing as most enemies are ahead.

i'm a fan player of turrican series!

Over the top! È sempre un piacere un gameplay di Turrican.

Single greatest game ever. Absolutely loved the game play. Loved the back and forth scrolling, seeking all the little hidden areas. Great fluid motion and animation and an awesome soundtrack. My downstairs neighbors HATED me. I had an Amiga 1000 hooked into a Kenwood home stereo for this soundtrack. Actually beat this game back in the day. Rumors of a Turrican 2 never panned out. I think there was one, just never released in the U.S.

This game has a striking resemblance to TAITO's Truxton (1988).

This game remembering me about the games RASTAN and BEN 10 - SAVAGE PURSUIT

0:32 Goosebumps

my first game experience, 25 years ago. was playing on the amiga my father gave me... nostalgiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Played this and Turrican 2 on Amiga; can't say honestly which was better, they were both awesome games. Love this game, seeing the 5 shot laser gun and hearing the noise it makes, I feel like that ghost army in Return of the King when Aragorn holds their oath fulfilled and releases them.

My goodness, the soundtrack still rocks so much!!

A great game for Amiga 500 a good souvenir

As fun as this game looks, it seems a couple of oversights happened in that you don't seem to be able to get a power-up that refills your rolling ball ability (or whatever it's actually called), or a power-up that gives you extra time, so you actually died from timing out. And the organic alien levels actually don't give you any little power-up caches? Wow. Good thing these things were addressed in the sequels, if I recall.

Turrican 1 & 2 are by far the best run & gun available on the good old amiga...ok, Midnight Resistance or Switchblade are there aswell amongst others, but...come on... 😃

Legendary

wow ...what a fantastic game !!! Thx for sharing . I think the first one is even better than the second . I love the Turrican 2 for sure . But i think this first one is really something lol. !!! Amiga Rulezzzzzz !!!

Do you practice these games a lot before recording? Turrican might not be the hardest game on amiga, but would still need some practice and level knowledge to play as good as you do.

this games hard as hell to complete i wasnt able to finish it nice just getting to the ending

Fantastiko , mito assoluto degli anni 80'90. Sia x cbm64 che per amiga era eccelso 9+

Somewhat generous with the 1UPs, weren't they

I was absolutely crap at this game and never got very far. I used to just listen to the music. Now thank for for Spotify 👍

Playing for the very first time since I only ever played the ones that were on SNES and Genesis. I'll never not find the lack of I Frames and the fact that you respawn right where you died weird in these games, but still fun.

One of the greatest games with one of the best soundtracks. 💊💉🍺😃

This game would be perfect with infinite continues at each level.

Thanks for the secret Boss location 🤯😱🥺

Memories of so many hours wasted playing this... The music was pretty good, at least. And the atmospherics & level design on the "horror" stage was amazing, granted.

- Wow - nieźle wymiatasz :) ... - Jedna z moich ulubionych gier dawno temu ....

Nice skill!

One of Nick arcade video challenges on season 1

Unforgettable

Buen video bro ese juego lo juge de pequeño no lo termine me quede donde caian las gotas de sangre

Good game. Good times. I think I played the C64 version though.

Bluesmobile in die Highscore eintragen und 99 Leben bekommen beim nächsten Start 😉🤘

masterpiece.

What sense does it make to create a QHD resolution video of a game with a 320x200 resolution?

So epic

It seems to run in 60fps *emulator (stutter). Should be 50fps. Powerful game though!

I always wondered why other programmers who wanted to create a shoot'em up game never took inspiration from level 6 and 8 of turrican to make a shoot'em up ????

A forgotten life at 12min14sec to take it fall into the hole ;)

Big like from Old Nerd 👍😉

Well done, If there is only one out there earned the right to call him selve player one it is now you 👍

This music is bad ass kicked out the mega man and donkey kong tunes

My Favorite Game on PS4 👍

Lol, turrican 2 was basically the first remake in gaming!

At the ending (music) one channel is missing! Did nobody notice that? 👎

Could have improved in the boss department

What stage is the secret boss?

Amiga has its own 16-bit console???

Rainbow arts science fiction games and shoot them up to mind me of like a post r-type

that fucking fish

💝

😍😍😍

Bel vidoe

DIE LEGIERUNG🇹🇳🇩🇪

Mi juego favorito de plataformas!!! Es perfecto! Tiene un parecido muy grande a otro de mis favoritos de msx thexder kzfaq.info/get/bejne/es6iZKp9nZvZeas.html

smooth character animation but boy, those backgrounds are SO bland. even worse than NES color palette. bad programming here for visuals!

Vorrei poter fare un viaggio nel tempo... Turrican sarebbe una tappa obbligata.

much better than the overrated Metroid which is too oriental and cartoonish. And the soundtrack is perfect, second only to Turrican 2
