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

Screw attack, eh?
No, probably not a dirty game but a late platformer. No clue here tho. |

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. |

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. |

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

PiesAreBlueGuy's memories are correct - Turrican has the screw attack. Shown in Turrican 3's intro:
![]() | V ![]() | 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... |
