We stick with the Amiga for a moment. Thinking back, and putting yourself in that time, what were the titles that really made an impression on the Amiga? There were plenty, but Turrican was definitely one of them.
The initial version was developed by Manfred Trenz (who btw. was also responsible for Gianna Sisters on the C64). The graphics and level design was beautiful and outstanding, but what made the game super cool, was the soundtrack by the famous Chris Hülsbeck. 🎵
For many the Turrican series is a perennial favorite, and there have been ports and sequels to the original game. The PC version of Turrican II was special in so far, that it supported more than the 32 colors of the Amiga.
And that was reason enough for an individual named Saberman, to back-port the PC version of Turrican II to the Advanced Graphics Architecture (AGA) of the Amiga and release a demo.
You still love Turrican? Check out the article at indieretronews and see for yourself.
Happy blasting! 💥
