[Found: Turrican] There is this game I remember as a child, a Metroid type game.

PiesAreBlueGuy · 16 September 2009, 15:10

I remember it very faintly but I would like to play it again.

It was a lot like Super Metroid because I remember you could do a screw attack type thing and you could go through certain walls. When I was younger I thought it was a glitch.

Have any of you guys heard of this game? Sorry that I can't give much info I played it a few times and lost the disk due to being around 10 at the time

Photon · 16 September 2009, 15:19

Screw attack, eh?

No, probably not a dirty game but a late platformer. No clue here tho.

PiesAreBlueGuy · 16 September 2009, 15:24

The ground was yellow in the bit I played. I think it had 360 direction movement, and never did those little box rooms like in metroid.

I actually played this game before I even heard of metroid. It was a platformer.

Is it turrican?

killergorilla · 16 September 2009, 15:37

Sounds like it might be yeah.

PiesAreBlueGuy · 16 September 2009, 15:47

Yeah this is it thanks guys

I thought it was a screw attack like power up, but now I see it was actually like the morth ball

TheCyberDruid · 16 September 2009, 15:49

That was probably the worst discription for Turrican I ever read

Good you found it nonetheless

killergorilla · 16 September 2009, 15:50

Hahaha

PiesAreBlueGuy · 16 September 2009, 15:50

I did play it when I was 10 years old, my memory was very fuzzy

Photon · 16 September 2009, 17:01

OK, now we all know Turrican has a screw attack ! ! hehe.

There's also Turrican 2 and 3, if the first Turrican wasn't the exact one you played.

PiesAreBlueGuy · 16 September 2009, 17:11

I will go have a look at them.

Thanks guys

TheCyberDruid · 16 September 2009, 17:13

Turrican
Turrican II
Turrican 3

I'm currently playing Mega Turrican. Is the Screw Attack in this version also? What's the combo to activate it?

Yeah Photon, tell us! We need to know this mega secret screw attack combo!

PiesAreBlueGuy's memories are correct - Turrican has the screw attack. Shown in Turrican 3's intro:

|
V

But since it's not very useful (the most it could do is squash a moskito which hides behind the screw's head) he doesn't use it in-game.

And since it's in T3 I'm sure it's also in Mega Turrican...

This is not even a 180° turn

Would have been funny to see Turrican start the attack, turn upside down and bump headfirst in the ground

But okay, there is a screw in one of the Turrican's
