Turrican 2 MS-DOS AGA conversion - Page 28

Muzza · 07 November 2022, 01:55

Not yet. Schlauchi (who worked on Turrican Anthology and probably knows the original as well as anyone) has been kindly doing some detailed gameplay testing. As a result, a few important bugs have been found as well as lots of little differences (things like enemy health or behaviour being a bit off from the original).

Obviously there will always be some differences, and many of these things wouldn't be noticeable to anyone but the most seasoned player of the original game, but I'm working to make it as close as possible.

After the gameplay tweaks are complete, it will go to a few additional testers who have offered to try it on various systems to check compatibility (plus they may find gameplay bugs too!)
Real life has also got in the way too, but I'm still hoping to be done before Christmas.

If TURRICAN 2 managed to come out in December, you would give us old Amigans an unforgettable Christmas

Just been thinking if i would be difficult to make the main character gfx selectable? To be honest, I prefer the original one instead of the DOS one, even if it has less colours.

Release candidate 1 is being tested.
And to the previous posts, the option to use the Amiga sprite was added some time ago as a lot of people asked for it.
