I had two lifes left but I shot down the ground that's apparently the only way, and there was no place to die. So I waited until the time ran out (for about 5 mins!) and thought that maybe the ground will reappear, but nopes. |

There is NO way to get stuck in Turrican. there is "always" a way to continue on, you just need to try harder to find a way out. Keep trying!

First try. Anyone have a link to a manual? (Or tell me what keys do what, other than the first two on the joystick, space and alt...)

For some reason I don't like the rocket-backpack level...
393.700 Here are some 'tips' for people that play Turrican not so often : 1. At the very start turn left and walk as far as possible. Jump up and gain one extra live 2. Use the spread shot. The laser has more fire power, but it's easier to shoot flying enemies with the spread shot. 3. Use the beam whenever possble and turn into the 'wheel' when there are spikes on the ground. 4. Always have the spacebar ready for power lines. They help a lot in certain situations. Last edited by TCD; 08 June 2008 at 20:01. |

Better yet: use a dualshock-controller.
My setup: Triangle - single fire (=> beam & mine) Circle - power line / wheel [SPACE] Cross - jump [UP] Square - auto fire R1 - grenade [ALT] |

This was just at the beginning (to the left) in world 2. As it was such a small area to explore I doubt that I missed something...

Okay, that's better. But I need the old Competition Pro feeling to play that game But you're right. Having the extras mapped to the gamepad is a lot more comfortable

Turrican is one of my favourite game.
That's not my best score, usually i manage to finish it with more lives left (>30-40). 1,432,200 |

Woah! Congrats Rick! That's a really nice score
I think TodaysForgotten now got a pretty good challenge I will try to complete it myself, if only there wasn't the damn rocket backpack level... |

Oh man!, this is going to be one hell of difficult competition! I know i chose Turrican and i do love the game, but i had forgotten just how BIG part 1 was! I honestly think the maps in part 1 are far bigger than in part 2 !!. I don't know how many times i can sit there and finish it !!
I made a number of errors, and i know i could have done quite a bit better, but...... Anyway, i completed it, and here is my score guys. 1,628,550 |

What you need to do is go back the way you came to the far right of the play area and beneath you, you will find bits of the same kind of floor. Just hold down your fire button ( with autofire off if you have it ) and rotate the beam you have to destroy the floor below you, so that you can progress!!.. Quote:
I am sure someone is going to topple my score very soon though! Last edited by Graham Humphrey; 08 June 2008 at 19:17. |
