Could it be possible to use AGA dual playfield and add a parallaxed background ?
And tes, I also think the original Amiga sprite is better. Edit : wonderful project by the way. Last edited by sokolovic; 27 April 2021 at 00:38. |

Artwork is all sourced from the MS-DOS version. Music is the original TFMX from the AMIGA (but I think identical to the MS-DOS version) For sound effects I found an old gameboy remake of T2 where they extracted wavs already - although I'm not entirely happy with all of them. On the code side, I use roondars audio mixer (thanks roondar!). TFMX player code came from a music player that had ripped the code from the Amiga version (this took a lot of work to get working, but I'm glad I did as the music is so important to Turrican). All the code for scrolling, blitting and gameplay is new and original. |

I always thought Super Turrican sprites (both 1 and 2) are the best ones, can you add those too maybe?

None of them look like the box art. Wait until people see the art in the MS-DOS intro sequence, haha. |

you should let people choose the main character graphics

I completely support this idea. There was also Jean-Claude van Damme once.... nooo, forget it!

Never liked it, I think it's silly at best... I always thought a proper take on the suit design would be closer to Master Chief (Halo) than that... thing on the cover! ... and yeah, the DOS intro sequence is a mixed bag: awesome ship design, awful character design! |

I hate the main sprite too, but this is a port, so it's better to keep the original.
Fantastic job! |

That would be the best solution. Would it be theoretically possible to change some other game assets? For example backgrounds, parallax scrolling or the CD Music from Chris? No pressure - only a question, only a "simple" port of the MSDos version would be great. Thanks. |

Wow,
I launched the demo not expecting much, but this was actually very good and super enjoyable! Great project! |

Seriously though this is such a great idea for a project. I wonder what a palette adjusted for ms-dos colours, slightly smoothed to fit in with the vga assets version of our beloved little guy would look like? Basically what would it look like if they’d done what you’d have expected from them in the first place rather than strangely riff on the 8bit versions.

It does play and look nice! I tried on my Blizzard IV 030.
It take to much time from holding fire to when the fire can be spread all around you. It should almost be like you have to fire all the time to use normal weapon. Holding, should trigger the all around weapon almost instantly. Like other mention 2nd button should be special weapon, just like when hitting space button on keyboard. Great work! |

Hahah it’s the worst, I love it. I can imagine him hanging out with the US NES cover Megaman.
Has anyone ever modded in loading screen “totally not just a traced over Manowar cover” Turrican with his rad hair? It’s almost as if the creators didn’t give a crap about consistency or how he looked, lol. Last edited by Mixel; 10 August 2021 at 12:40. |

maybe the cover was changed to lame (but original) crap after plagiarism was detected...

Well, I wouldn't dislike a reboot/makeover like these for both cover and in-game assets... but I'm getting OT now! |
