T2002 - New Turrican Clone
Just found another Turrican clone called T2002.
You can find it at http://www.pekarosoftware.de/ It uses the original Turrican 2 music and levels (but I think some of the music is on the wrong level), but it's nice to see anyway. You might also want to check out Hurrican at http://www.poke53280.de/download/download.php?id=1, but I think thats already been mentioned in another thread... EDIT: Updated the URL since this thread has become current again.... Last edited by maddog; 28 March 2003 at 16:19. |

Finally got around to checking this. Never completed the first level but it reminds me a lot of the first level of Turrican 2, at least up to a point. Whereafter it seems to be either other levels merged with it or something else.

You and Akira got that right. Among other things. Still it's a nice piece of fan work.

Remakes and Clones
 None of them beat the original I have to agree with Akira with his saying Quote:

Well I llok at it this way
Sure Turrican was good, Turrican II was better and Turrican III was ok You've played them a million times already The ppl spend time on a free game that is in the same spirit, whats the deal? I like it and hope for more stuff like this

I certainly agree this does NOT replace the real Turrican games...
My original post about it using the same levels was kinda unnaccurate.... Once you get a little further you see only the first part of level 1 is same the same as the Turrican 2 level 1. The rest seems to be new levels with a mix of Turrican 1 & 2 themes. Only now the levels HUGE (and the 1UP's are a little sparse). (Also you might notice that we can no longer destroy the first exit sign which directs you into the waterfall )I think Ash has the right approach. Turrican should never die, but some new approaches once in a while can be refreshing to see...... and since it has the original music its gotta be worth playing just to hear that again

The readme from T2002 says:

 I imagine that MSDOS games from that era are not worth finding... but anyway, is this around anywhere? |

Try the underdogs.
And as for the sparse 1ups. I thought there were a bucketload compared to the original turrican 2. |
