Item Description
Firing a plasma rope into the ceiling, swinging over a pit and raining laser fire on whatever waits below: that is the moment Mega Turrican clicks. Factor 5, the German studio later famous for Star Wars: Rogue Squadron, brought the Turrican series to the Genesis with this 1994 run-and-gun, and it squeezes the hardware for everything it has.
You play Bren McGuire, last survivor of the United Freedom Forces, taking on The Machine, the tyrant that has enslaved the galaxy. Earlier Turrican games were famous for huge, maze-like levels built around exploration. Mega Turrican deliberately trades that for tighter, console-style stages that mostly push forward, a shift long-time fans still debate but one that keeps the pace relentless. The new plasma rope adds Bionic Commando-style swinging, three main weapons cover the bases with a spread shot, a powerful laser and a bouncing shot, smart bombs clear the screen in a pinch, and the series' Energy Wheel returns, now on a limited timer.
The set pieces are the reason people remember it. One world is a junkyard strewn with the wreckage of earlier bosses, one of which refuses to stay dead. Another has you leaping across a convoy of spaceships used as platforms, and an alien train ups the tension further. Along the way are cheeky nods to sci-fi cinema, including a mech that recalls RoboCop's ED-209 and heads styled after the Alien and the Terminator, all building to a showdown with The Machine itself.
Then there is the music. Chris Huelsbeck, whose scores defined the Turrican series, wrote a soundtrack that is regularly singled out among the best on the Genesis, all driving synth melodies and thumping bass. Data East handled the North American release, and the game was later adapted for the Amiga as Turrican 3. This is the cartridge that brings Turrican's European home-computer spectacle to a Sega console, and the right place to start for anyone curious why the series still has such a devoted following.
