Turrican I & II Full Commentary Longplays

[ZEUSDAZ]

It's not the norm for me to do commentary videos of me completing games without cheats that take more than 30mins but I was asked by many subs/viewers to do Turrican I & II from start to finish with commentary, so for anyone interested here they are, I hope you enjoy them

I loved both games, but I think T2 played a bit better - especially with the aiming of the lightning gun. That said, I love me some T1. Some of the music in that game is epic (yeah, same goes for T2 I know).

T2. So good, so unforgiving. I'd wish the bounce and spread shot weapons could be upgraded in strength just one step further, they're such a slog to kill the stronger enemies with.

[AmigaHope]

The key to T2 was to just get every single 1UP you could so you had a huge stock with which to finish the game. The game wasn't unfair, it just rewarded diligence.

T1 and T2 are excellent games, but i think with a bad calibrated difficulty compared with C64 version that remains the top version. Amiga, Atari ST versions also cut many life bonus that also increase this difficulty.
i finish T1 and T2 on C64 without trainer. With Amiga is impossible to do without it.

I never knew you can walk past the wind in T2

Not for me, I thought it was a solid invisible wall, 30yrs later learn new things.

Turrican II for me was THE classic for a while, i even wanted to buy the original one if i found it on sale, however Turrican 1 was for me a very good display of what Factor 5 had to give in the future, and i did enjoy it thoroughly was not for a bug (feature? protection?) in my two disk version which in world 1.3 the door to the elevator does not appear and you find yourself to wander for hours looking on what to do... i did went around using the trainer but was disappointed for not being able to go through in full until i did found another copy working couple years later - btw i want to thank here Chris Huelsbeck publicly because some of the samples i used for Powder did come from RAM dump of turrican 1

[AmigaHope]

I beat T2 Amiga without cheats/trainer... Hardest part for me was the shmup segments, but I just burned through all the 1UPs I'd saved up from earlier.

Key is to make a rough map of the level where all the 1UPs and heals are and plot an optimal route through the level, with good gameplay you should be able to do all the levels without losing a single life to regular enemies, then it's just a matter of not dying too much on the bosses/shmup levels.

I'm not so sure if you were supposed to be able to cheese by it like that, but it's a neat trick nonetheless

For me T1 and T2 are still C64 games with great Amiga ports. Just loved them on both C64 and later on Amiga.

Nice longplay. Subscribed and thumbs up mate.

Funny that games both are hour and half long, and at the time that seemed reasonable and by today standards into and just learning how to play game can take that much.
