Basically you should just turn up the volume a bit for my version.
If you find the balance between the music and sounds to be off - that is another issue. I tried to get it right, but I noticed a huge difference between playing on an old TV and playing with a modern sound system. It was hard to get it right for both.

No probs - thanks for the explanation man!

Maybe an option to change volume of music and fx could be included if it's not much trouble to implement?

2nd big boss - The Warhead - his hitpoint does not flash when shot. I was not sure if I hurt him or not.

Good idea

Are you sure? I hit it at the open brain spot and flashed as it should.

Did not flash for me in WinUAE. I will try on my Amiga.

I think it does, but it is quite subtle because it is fast, small, and already quite bright.

Although I also think if all the art was being replaced, it would be tempting to just make it an original game at that point.

.. Amazing! I’d suggest doing both, haha! I would probably do the graphics for a T2a+ as long as there’s no time limit on it? I have a lot of other stuff going on and games to finish, but that’s so damn tempting. There are maybe other artists who’d offer to help too? (Some of whom are probably way better than I am!) How easy is it to switch out palettes? In some parts of the DOS version it’s like they were allergic to colour and decided to strip a lot of the saturation out, counterintuitively reducing the colours while increasing the colour count.

And the intro.. it’d be nice to keep the absolutely wild cartoon colours from the OG just adding more palette slots to add lighting, AA etc.. (and clean up some of their line work and funky perspective, tbf) Ending up with something somewhere between the two intros? Elsewhere I feel like it’d look a bit more like the snes turricans. Could be amazing. But just pondering.

You can get A1200 FastRAM boards for €50/£60

Sure, I just wanted to know if it's technically feasible from Muzza's perspective.

True

It is worth checking you have the latest, and perhaps pushing the author for a firmware update.

Latest firmware and core. I do lots of testing for the Boys

Timing is the hardest part;it seems


The game is still great anyways

Ok, there are a few ridiculous Sprites but thats not your fault.

World 4 is quiet bland, but that comes from the PC game too.

Turri 2 is one of my all time favorite games, so i will always be in your debt.

Muzza FTW

Awesome

Do you think a CD32 version that uses the music from Chris Huelsbeck's Turrican Anthology would be feasible? A few years ago Chris Huelsbeck remade every single track from Turrican II (and from Turrican 1+2 as well) for his Turrican Anthology project so the music is all there in 44.1khz 16-bit stereo hi-definition audio. Nothing is missing. Combining this music with your Turrican II AGA would be the wildest dream and would make Turrican II AGA the ultimate Turrican experience on ANY platform!!

[punkrulesok]

Is it possible to get complete level map bitmaps with the copper gradients? This would be a nice addition . (Just looking at the images on your website, Muzza)

Edit: Just had a look at the site, and like this but with full colours and all levels? By the way, how was this generated?

But did Chris release it for free?

[Calabazam]

Awesome Christmas gift! Thanks for all this work!

I guess you could talk to Chris about it, but maybe we all just cut Mazza some slack and let him have a nice holiday plus some days off before requesting even more work

[Weasel Fierce]

PLayed through about half last night on 1200/030 and it ran like a dream. Its fun to experience the alternate enemy sprites. Im still not sure which ones I prefer but its lovely to have both available now
