Have you ever played the msdos version ? Graphics looks much better and gameplay is even good like the AMIGA Version. But there is a AGA Version out ua-cam.com/video/tx_zaQnpgUE/v-deo.html
Hell, i played the C64 Version for venting after school for a felt eternity. Homework? Nah. Just a quick Turrican 2 Walkthrough before Math. Imagine me when Super Turrican came out...
I can't speak on playability, but the DOS version looks amazing. It has been so long, I didn't remember how different that intro was. I will add this though, the C64 version is quite impressive.
DOS version does look good but I prefer the look of the Amiga version, the character looks better and it looks less glossy. On a side note, someone is making an Amiga AGA version that looks the same as the DOS version.
@Laz Rabbit That doesn't surprise me, I remember when my brother got a PC just shortly before Windows 95 was released, most games ran fine but I do remember a lot of messing around you had to do with some games, especially on the memory configuration.
I think the most impressive thing here is the fact that Chris took the time to port the music to the Atari ST which had a rudimentary sound chip (the same as the ZXS 128k).
Annoyingly for me I had an STE which was never made use of. Made after the Amiga released in order to compete with it and whilst still inferior in some ways was superior in others. Was kind of pointless when all games were made to run on all ST versions though.
It makes me laugh seeing how the companies got away with repackaging Turrican as Universal Soldier for the US consoles despite the game having nothing to do with the storyline of the movies..
Its a shame... but turrican from a small german company wasnt known in the US.. so they put the name Universal Soldier over it... i dont even know if they credit the original staff at all.
There are some game that show the promise of the system they are run on and this is one of them . Amiga shows out here with excellent well....everything. What other system from 1985 could do this???
MS-DOS version looks the best. But several other versions are great. Amiga version is the original for me, and I had a lot of fun playing this game on it at the time. :)
Most of the graphics upgrades look good but the main character and a few of the monsters look wrong/bland I'm hoping that the Amiga remake will give the option to at least keep the original character.
what i never understood... they had the opportunity to put the original cd synth soundtrack from chris hülsbeck onto the Turrican cdtv Version, but they didnt... Why? I mean its just the Disk Version on a CD... Its a waste and one of many reasons the cd TV Failed... Because they just put Amiga 500 multi disc games on one CD... a waste of space.... maybe in another dimension Commodore had used hardware similar to a Neo Geo (powerwise) with CD-Support...as the next Amiga (just imagine).
First of all, there is no CDTV version. The game was published also for the CDTV, but this "version" is identical to the A500 version. AKA it is the SAME. The only difference is the compact disk as storage oh and you had to play it with the CDTV controller. Interesting thing: Originally Turrican was developed for the C64, but as the developers realized that the C64 started to fall and the Amiga started to rise, they stopped the project and restarted for the Amiga. So they published the game as an Amiga original. The C64 title of the game would have been "Hurricane". :) -- The intros: All story line intro is great compared to the machine. -- The game in order of the goodness: Amiga -- Clearly this is the best! Everything is perfect! DOS -- It looks and sounds amazing, but I don't really like the different graphics especially for the main character. Atari -- Still has the closest graphics to the Amiga and the audio is acceptable. Sega -- It could have been a great conversion if the main character hadn't been redrawn. Still a super game. Super Nintendo -- In my opinion, it is less good than the Sega version. Worse audio. C64 -- It's an amazing version but it lacks the music. Except this, it's superb! The last three are the Gameboy, Amstrad, and Spectrum. All is ridiculous! The Gameboy version it's like a Mario game. The Amstrad version doesn't even work properly and as usual, slow as hell. The Spectrum version probably is the best action game on this machine, but it looks like an abstract interactive animation.
I think the Amiga version definitely looks the best - I guess that was the original system it was programmed for so it will always be the ideal. I don't like the voices when you pick up weapons though - very annoying. The ST version is surprisingly good and this was the one I played as a youngster - I had a demo of level 1 that I played to death. Didn't realise the resolution was lower than the Amiga at the time. Fun fact - that 'impossible ledge jump' at the top left of the map bothered me so I found a way to cheat it. Pressing pause repeatedly as you jump let Turrican jump a bit higher over all and you could reach the ledge (plus a load of extra parts of the level). The PC version looks good but the pixel art is a little too glossy and overdone for my liking. All the Universal Soldier versions are just 'wrong', obviously. Amazing how bad SNES games can look when they are conversions of Amiga originals! C64 version gets a lot of respect from me. Quite an achievement and, as always, the SID music is great. The other 8 bit versions are wrong 'uns!
Yeah I think the Amiga version was the original and for me the best one, the worse is the Snes and Mega Drive one, what were they thinking? lol. Also it looks like the PC version is being recreated on the Amiga 1200 with a lot more colours and it basically looks like the PC version with a few enhancements.
It's a different game but it's the more faithful to the original but Super Turrican 2 is very different and doesn't feel like Turrican at all to me. Personally, Turrican 1 and 2 were the best on the Amiga but it's no surprise because it's where the most effort went into them.
Amiga version is clearly the best but the C64 version looks awesome and I can’t believe the old Speccy had a port as well!

Really loved this game. Still do in fact :) It's amazing how well a 30 year old game holds up today.

What are you talking about? You don’t recall that part of the movie where Van Damm had to battle killer bees in an underground caver?

Well its not a surprice. The ms dos version came 4! years after the amiga version. ^o^ But at that time the PC saw already games like doom.

The MSDOS version was much better than I expected it to be/it has any right to be.
Sega Genesis wins hands down.
Amiga all the way.
ST music lacks the punch.
MD music just too different, nice enough stand alone tune, but.
What's Universal Soldier doing in there at 21:35 and 22:07 (and other places)? Two video comparisons got mixed together accidentally?
It's same game, for consoles (megadrive/genesis , snes et gb) rebranded as Universal Soldier

The DOS-version of Turrican II is quite good. The spectrum-version looks unplayable. C64 and Amiga are the best.
Best Version is C64.
Best Intro and Musik.
Then Pc and Amiga

Super
The SFX are really bad on the SNES.ound like they recorded it in a boiler room.
Wow, SNES version is the most disappointing thing I've seen in a while.... damn
Oh my god... Who puked all over the PC-version? Horrible.
Video is 30fps, -1
super turican snes is the best
It's not the same game 😉
It's a different game but it's the more faithful to the original but Super Turrican 2 is very different and doesn't feel like Turrican at all to me.
