This is much better than Super Turrican (also runs much better on PSP).

Lost a lot of lives due to collecting lots of diamonds...

340,390

Predabot · 06 September 2009, 15:03

Woohoo! ^^ Good showing this one. I was better than I remembered actually.

47250

*looks at John's score*

OMG! I didn't perform much of a score there!

Man... I guess this will be one of those again, where I have to chase the golden 100 000 to even make an impression.

TCD · 06 September 2009, 15:09

Welcome back Predabot

Next time remember to put your score underneath your screenshot, m'kay?

TCD · 15 September 2009, 18:30

Still don't like it, but at least (after the weekend of training) I could beat it

Nowhere near john's score though...

286,030

lilalurl · 16 September 2009, 05:40

255850

Somehow, I guess I am more qualified to hunt Pokémons than diamonds

. Missed more than a third in the Alien levels (not that I seeked them especially).

Btw regarding sprite vs background in secret areas, if memory serves right, in Turrican 3, in the golden armour zone, the Turrican sprite is visible and in 1-up secret areas of the junkyard level the sprite is invisible.
In mega Turrican, it is the opposite (well, there is no golden armour but still there is one one-up).

Ahh the water level is giving me the shits. I think too tired to play this now... keep always jumping to the holes.

At least it's a score. 3 days to go.

47.950

TCD · 16 September 2009, 21:55

Great to see you're back xpect

The water level is a bit annoying (especially since the 'swimming' controls are a bit strange to say the least

). I'm sure you can improve your score within the next three days

AmigaFriend · 18 September 2009, 18:09

Just to tell that i'm currently paused for several minutes in the Alien level, and it's the most irritating level i've played in Turrican, ever!. It makes me wanting to scream!

Now that i had this cathartic moment, i'm off to eat something.

john4p · 18 September 2009, 18:11

Yes, I hope you don't beat my score - because I don't want to go through the HUGE alien-levels all over again looking every inch for diamonds...

Those in the hollow stone pillars (hence hidden) are a bother.
I also remember one isolated on a platform and that needs some rope swinging and sudden lengthening at the end before releasing the rope to then land on a pillar (hollow, so you have to land at the right spot) and finally jump from there to the platform with the diamond.

Even with a precise guide collecting all diamonds in those levels would be a chore (IIRC, there are 800-900+ of them

).

An idea for a new EAB competition, find all the diamonds in Turrican 3 alien levels (and do a visual guide, with screenshots)

john4p · 18 September 2009, 18:29

I did find them all (well, except 1, I've collected 649 out of 650) - I just don't want to have to collect them again...

AmigaFriend · 18 September 2009, 22:17

Ok enough for today.

295.920

TCD · 18 September 2009, 22:24

Nice score xpect

Not sure if I want to play it again... just can't stand the rope

Yep, pretty annoying. I much prefer Turrican 1 and 2 to this release.

TCD · 18 September 2009, 22:31

They even dared to put this dreaded train jump sequence in it

Anyway, if I find some time tomorrow I'll try to find a few more diamonds...

Predabot · 19 September 2009, 00:46

I think I'm going to give this a quick go again myself, actually. =)

mihcael · 19 September 2009, 13:08

1,680

TCD · 19 September 2009, 13:19

It's your big score day eh?

Thanks for entering the round nonetheless

Predabot · 19 September 2009, 13:21

New score! Too bad it's almost the same as the last one... -_-

Damn sewer-water level!
