EAB Games League Season 1 Round 4 - Turrican 2 - Page 4

Graham Humphrey · 30 July 2007, 19:38

With the number of lives he gets I would imagine it's worth sacrificing the odd one to get more points

31 July 2007, 01:33

Actually no.. i managed to make it through every world except the last one without losing a life

I lost 2 lives on the last world.
Level 1-1 can be a close call unless you move your ass fast

Graham Humphrey · 03 August 2007, 19:13

Eight days left now for this round... anyone else fancy a go I wonder?

Konrad · 03 August 2007, 19:25

I'll try again this weekend

.

blade002 · 03 August 2007, 19:34

Yeah i'll try again this weekend too... so damn busy right now, but i do know where alot of bonus areas are as my memory is slowly being jogged after all these years.

turrican3 · 03 August 2007, 20:02

i'll try later too, but you pushed the competition so high, it's crazy

.

blade002 · 04 August 2007, 15:16

My 2nd try and to be honest, i really do not know how Vermillion got 4,000,000 and only lost 2 lives due to the fact that the game usually times you out on most levels if you explore the whole area, but if the man says he did it, then trust we must.. Well Done again Vermillion

Here is my new score though, and im more than happy with it

I only "just" beat you farmarfred

Evil laugh No.#3

3005700

Finished with 15 lives left, and 503 diamonds.

I'll get you next time Vermillion

This game really sucks. I still have no idea what for the time is. I ran out of time when killing boss. He exploded and I exploded. It resulted that I couldn't finish the stage

Yeah its a rare thing that, but it happened to me the other night too... I killed the boss from level 1.2 and at the same time my time ran out too, just like with you.. and it would not let me finish the level.

Keep on persevering, because like i said, its quite rare what happened to us both.. its just bad timing ..

mailman · 04 August 2007, 18:46

Yes, I finished the game! Soon, I will provide new highscore of mine

503 diamonds blade.. well done

The amount of diamonds you finish with is a good indication of how many secret areas you have found..
But you missed a lot of extra lives it would seem.. maybe run through it again! heheh

To get 4 million+ it's important that you shoot ALL spawned enemies until they stop - then destroy it's source (bees, metal balls etc.. the last world is particuarly good for this..)
And you DO have enough time to do this in every level without dieing - providing you know the layout like the back of your hand and turn into the speedy star at every opportunity to get around quicker

FYI my final score before I incurred the big finish bonus was around 2.9 million.

In fact from memory (but dont quote me on this..), I had around 1 million at the beginning of world 2..

Yeah ive always been aware of shooting everything that spawns and wiping out the source, but i no longer know Turrican 2 like the back of my hand like i did in the old days when i first played it ( i bought the original pretty much in the 1st week it was released ). I was actually thinking about becoming the gyroscope to speed things up a bit, but i kept thinking about Turrican 1 when you were only allowed 3 per life, and didnt realise till now that in T2 they are unlimited

.

I did manage to find ALOT of lives, but lost ALOT of them

... although i cannot try the game again otherwise my GF will kill me

Another trick you might want to try is with those green vines that grow from the ground. As they grow, jump up and up and up and you will find some other bonus towards their destination, although you probably knew this already

Next time Turrican 2 comes up though in a competition, i will certainly give you a run for your money, and whatever game is chosen next, you will have me there giving you hell

Great effort !!!!!

Now you are telling me

And seriously, the great scores are mostly due to that finish bonus. If I knew earlier, I wouldn't ask

My new score after completing the game:

2,527,300

Diamonds found: 418

And I advanced on the 4th position!

farmarfred · 05 August 2007, 10:26

4,851,100 and thats my finale score dont think i have the patience to collect that much score again took me about 3 hours.

dont have any evil laughs in me right now just a slightly insane giggle

hehehehehhihi

no more turrican for at least 10 more years

Graham Humphrey · 05 August 2007, 11:06
