You know john... two more weeks

I'm sure we'll see a 'real life taking too much time' post soon

Of course.

At least it was nice to learn there are people who appreciate Turrican although they weren't even born when it was released.

*starts laughing mildly*...*cough* *cough* *gasp for breath*...*continues laughing*

@Chuck-Rock-Jnr: You could just use Pekaro's T2002-editor and save a lot of already-done-work and just focus on the level layouts...

At the weekend I played the T2002-levelpack "Morgul Returns" (version 2.1). It's incredibly, insanely awesome!

It consists of 16 very long, but also very well designed levels, good boss-fights and very well composed music. There's even a shmup-stage like in Turrican II (also a jetpack-level).
Whereas the original T2002-levels were a bit chaotic I can fully recommend Morgul Returns.
But be warned - it's the longest Turrican I've ever played. Takes 3-4 hours to complete...
The levelpack, no, the game (it is a standalone game) starts with nice Beast III-backgrounds, later uses some Turrican II PC-level gfx and many Mega/Super Turrican-sprites (including the Turrican-sprite).
But mostly this is a remake of Turrican I (Amiga). Play and see for yourself!

Recently the same person who created Morgul Returns (Lukasz Maniewski) released "Metroidican" which uses Super Metroid and Metroid Fusion's level graphics and already was praised a lot.
I'll try that on the weekend.

Get T2002 (including the editor) from: www.pekaro.de (=> "Download")
And Levelpacks at: http://www.nemmelheim.de/turrican (=> "Levelbase")

P.S. Going by the creator's name I guess Morgul Returns and Metroidican might be the best Polish games ever created...

TCD · 16 June 2009, 15:26

Not that's what I'm talking about... er, you know what I mean

Cheers john

Will check these out later and have a serious go on the weekend

Heeey! Are you making fun of our national treasure - AMOS games, sir?

Thanks for the linkies btw...

john4p · 16 June 2009, 16:40

No! Tbh I've never played one of those - only read about some by browsing through Lemon Amiga's game reviews.

Morgul Returns is just so damn good I think it's fair to assume it's superior to these AMOS games.

Btw., since there are a lot of those - could you recommend a few of the best?

Why, of course

My favorites:

Astral, a puzzle platformer with a very memorable insider joke in the intro...
character 1: "Coś tutaj miga" ("something is blinking here...")
character 2: "A miga, miga" ("indeed, it is blinking it is")

Legion, a rpg/strategy with lots of quests and items and a huge world

Lost in Mine, a puzzle platformer, nicely done

Rebel, a real-time strategy, pretty good

Graham Humphrey · 16 June 2009, 17:02

Some serious thread de-railing there guys

john4p · 16 June 2009, 17:02

Thanks! I'll have a look at the weekend - especially Legion looks interesting.
