He said he doesnt.

Nobody mentioned yet that after 23 years we FINALLY know names of all the tracks from Turrican I!

Correct! But are they all the actual titles, or Chris made some of them up for the occasion?

it seems there is no chance: "The Limited Edition Box Set: The final product will be a gorgeously packaged true limited edition Box Set, numbered by the manufacturing plant, and personally signed by me. The set will never be produced in this form again after the project is completed!"

but maybe a 2 CD compilation, see comments #4,#5,#6: http://www.huelsbeck.com/news/turric...ject/#comments

If Chris made them up, they are the actual titles! What else would the actual titles be other than what Chris made up?

The titles that someone (Chris or somebody else) might had created back in 1990 but lost after all this time. That was impossible with T2 and T3 due to the included music menu. So... if such a track list exists, I'd prefer it over a 2013 made-up list, even if it's by Chris!

Well I know Chris was working from the original TFMX files to produce the remakes, and there is a text header in that format so if he had given the tracks titles back then I suppose he'd have put them there, if not in the filenames. But if the titles weren't in the game I suppose they didn't even need titles, filenames probably were things like "level1-1" &c. Chris might have thought up titles for his own use.

Hey why not ask him though, he is on Twitter.

Chris reply in the Kickstarter comments.

The names for T1 tracks are mostly new, since they originally didn't have names, but we took great care to come up with names that could have been selected in 1990 as well as some consideration for what they were called unofficially on the net before...

yes, not perfect or complete sadly

I like the updated tracks but I guess the original versions are always stuck in my head and have more feeling to them (if that makes sense!)

Retro-Nerd · 06 December 2013, 21:13

It's called nostalgia. But yes, i understand it. I've completed Turrican 1+2 often enough.

haha, I've still not played Turrican 1 to this day (shameful I know)... ooops

Predseda · 06 December 2013, 22:28

I want the lyrics of the first two songs of the last CD. Whoever of you is the backer, please ask Chris for it.

Agreed, it seems the original Amiga music (and the nostalgia that comes with it) cannot be matched by current remixes. It has to be said though, that some -not many- of the TSA tracks are true masterpieces and equal the impact of the originals. Akira mentioned in the past a friend of his that had re-sampled the originals (or sth. like that) and got the best possible result out of them, but we never got to hear any of it.

You should! For me it's the toughest of the 3 and the most gratifying to complete.

This is a great news, definitely going to buy it. This and a brand new Amiga game being released (Putty Squad). Its a good year to be an Amiga user.
