Thank you very much TCD

And yes the username of turrican3 is really scary for this game

Good luck everybody for this final round !

I prefer turrican 2, let see what i can do with turrican 1.
My username is nothing vs what rexsu accomplished every round after round.

Advice @all: Use your grenades - it's the strongest weapon in the game (press <ALT>). And use your mines against the ants in later levels (down + hold fire).

Well lucky to you rexsu that he is not named Turrican1!

Well good luck to all of you. You are worthy finalists and this will be a battle to be followed.

Good joke/quip

If it reassures you, i don't have the level of John4p for this game.
I didn't know that there were grenades in this game; for shame !

Thank you for your advice John4p.

1,849,300 (without grenades)

AmigaFriend · 11 January 2009, 16:41

Nice start Rexsu! Let's wait till you find the grenades!

Thanks mate

I don't have merit, i know this game; i played last year !
But i will not go on the fan sites for know all the tricks.
So i'll try to dig everywhere because i haven't found all lives or secret passages. (see Super League Round 6 threads, 70 lives !?!)
I hope to reach 2,000,000 but i'm not sure to get there, it's almost an insurmountable obstacle.

TCD · 11 January 2009, 18:02

One day you must tell me how you do that rexsu

First try and 1.8 million

Very nice score

Let's see if you can break the 2 million barrier mate

rexsu · 11 January 2009, 19:04

It's my first try for 2009 but i have played in 2008 and i know lot of tricks.
If you know the first hidden lives in the level 1 (roughly 15) it's enough for see the end imho !
(that would have been a different story with Turrican2)
Starting from scratch i would get the same scores as ElB.

ElB · 11 January 2009, 19:49

I was so sure I'd finished this before, but it's very similar to T2 so I think I may have got confused in my old age.

turrican3 · 12 January 2009, 21:42

my score : 1,182,150
shit, fu... buggy stage !!!!
fall loop !

for fun : winuae cartoon filter

Me too

I don't know if i completed Turrican2

Otherwise your last score is good

But you'll have to find more hidden lives to beat my last score

@Turrican3
Bad luck, i already had this bug in the past

My last score: 1,937,300
I hope to do better but i'm not sure to get there !

Same thing for me !
like you said rexsu

, and i'll try to push you to play again.

ps : Graham don't forget the minimig for the winner.

Graham Humphrey · 13 January 2009, 09:55

Get your own Minimig

Shame we couldn't have done t-shirts, or little medals, or something for this compo, nothing major, maybe would have been fun.

That's a cool idea Graham

Let's make a little price (I would say a t-shirt) for the winner of the next season and the next knockout

I think DH could 'design' it and than we have something really motivating next year
