 06.01.2026SNES - Fan-Made Prequel to Turrican II SUPER-J11BIT is working on a prequel to Turrican II: "Hi everyone! I’m working on a personal project: a fan-made game that serves as a direct prequel to Turrican II. The core idea is to show what actually happens during the intro of the original Amiga game—the attack on the Freedom Forces’ ship and the fall of the crew. My game will end exactly where Turrican II begins, so players will realize in the final scene that the first level of the classic game starts right after the events they just experienced. The entire adventure takes place inside the large spaceship seen in the intro. I’m imagining it as a massive structure with multiple decks and sectors, giving me plenty of room to design varied and coherent levels. Each area will have its own atmosphere, hazards, and narrative beats, gradually building up to the ship’s total collapse. Project Goal The goal is to show the fall of the ship from the inside, following the protagonist as he fights through the invasion and tries to survive. The ending will connect directly to the opening of Turrican II, creating a narrative bridge that the original game never showed." EDIT: I asked how exactly the game is beeing developed: "After several tests and experiments, I decided to take a more technical approach: I deconstructed Super Mario World and, starting from its foundations, built a custom graphic engine. After about a year of work on this homemade system, the result proved solid, versatile, and perfect for bringing something new to life. From there, the creative phase began, leading to the development of completely original games based on this structure. The project will be distributed as a patch to be applied to the original game. Everything is perfectly legal, as long as only the patch is shared and not the full game." Discuss here: https://turricanforever.de/#SetaForum More info: https://super-j11bit.my.canva.site/ | ||||

| 06.01.2026 Amazona.de interview with Chris Huelsbeck Rather long interview by Heiner Kruse of Amazona.de (...not to be confused with Amazon...), which is a magazine for musicians, so more music- and less game-oriented.

| 06.11.2025 Klavierabend Amiga 40 Jahre (sorry, german only, because in germany ;)) Short: Amiga Piano concert by Kordian Więcek! Be there! Tell your friends! (yes, I´m also looking at you, Robert!) "Der Kultcomputer Amiga feiert seinen 40. Geburtstag. Und das will ich mit euch musikalisch feiern. Der Eintritt ist frei, jeder ist willkommen um sich ausgiebig über Computerspiele und gute Musik zu unterhalten. Es werden zahlreiche Melodien bekannter Spiele aus den 80/90 Jahren in verschiedenen Musikrichtungen interpretiert. 24 Preludes über Themen aus Amigaspielen, welches ich im März 2025 vollendet habe, ist eine Hommage an die Musiker, die auf diesem Computer unvergessliche und vielfältige Melodien komponiert haben. Zahlreiche Komponisten werden in diesem an Chopin angelehnten Zyklus gewürdigt. Kurz nach Beendigung der Preludes schrieb mir Matthias Steinwachs scherzhaft, ich hätte nun endlich Zeit sich seinen Werken zu widmen. Und so arrangierte ich kurzerhand in den Sommerferien 13 Melodien aus dem Spiel Ambermoon für Klavier. Und sonst? Lasst Euch überraschen. Und wo? Musikschule Siegburg Humperdinckstraße 27 53721 Siegburg Das Konzert findet in der Aula der Musikschule statt - wie früher auch Als Info - seit diesem Jahr haben wir auch einen Aufzug, es ist nun auch für Rollstuhlfahrer möglich dabei zu sein - daran hatte ich beim letzten Spielekonzert nicht gedacht. Sorry. Und wann? 21.November 18.30 Uhr Und nun? Nicht mehr warten. Tragt es in den Kalender ein. Kauf dir dein Loom noch heute (Ups, das war irgendwie falsch)" (also thanks to Gerry for the tip, Kordian also mailed me, I´m just sloooow...) Older news on Kordian here | ||||

| 18.08.2025 D4XX MUSIC closing bandcamp account "For everyone who hasn’t yet purchased my remixes on Bandcamp: now is the time! I’ll be closing my Bandcamp account at the end of August. For those who have already bought music on Bandcamp: please make sure to download it, as it will be removed from the platform by the end of August. The reason is a change in the payment method, which I do not agree with and therefore feel compelled to close the page. Thank you for your understanding." So, better hurry, if you want to get some of those remixes. https://d4xx.bandcamp.com/ | ||||

 03.06.2025Jim Power Album by D4XX An upcoming remix-album by the fabulous D4XX: Jim Power in Mutant Planet, by Chris Huelsbeck. Only one song yet, but sounds fantastic so far. https://d4xx.bandcamp.com/album/jim-power-in-mutant-planet-the-remixes-unfinished Strangely there seems to be no Jim Power Album by Chris himself, only some single tracks on the Rainbows, Sound Factory and Symphonic Shades-Albums. But it does exist as an PC-Engine CD-Soundtrack! https://chrishuelsbeck.bandcamp.com/music | ||||
| 24.05.2025 Turrican for MSX Update "Finally, even spaceships have their own movement and attack patterns. In this update there are some improvements in the code (especially for the positioning of enemy sprites on the map) and, above all, graphics. You should see the second level! Well, you can, in the video there is that too. And no. It's not an Amiga, it's a simple MSX 1. But when Davide Bottino is in charge of graphics, everything is possible! Soon you will be able to try it online on the File-Hunter website <3" https://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=114722&page=4&highlight=turrican | ||||

| 19.05.2025 New Hoster After 22 years (!), I had to move Nemmelheim from Hosteurope to Goneo, since they want to migrate all email-accounts from their own system to Microsoft Outlook. After asking for other options, I was told I could terminate my contract. Nevertheless, thanks for all the long years nearly without any troubles. And to the person who programmed the fabulous management systems and environment, which now seems to get retired for whatever strange reasons. File- and database-import seem to have been successful so far, HTTPS will follow. If anything does not work, please leave me a note. Already known: the parts hosted at turricanforever.de are not fully working atm, I guess because HTTPS is not set up yet. | ||||

| 29.03.2025 24 Preludes about Amiga Themes by Kordian Więcek Kordian Więcek who brought us Dueling Pianos: Turrican just released 24 Preludes about Amiga Themes! "It's been exactly 10 years since the first Opus Retro piece, Turrican, premiered, and I think it's fitting to expand the cycle with the Amiga Preludes. It's another great homage on my part to the great musicians who created unforgettable moments with their artistry, some of whom are still writing music today or have sadly passed away. The Amiga Preludes are conceived so that they aren't listened to and played individually, but rather as a complete cycle. It's a concert piece that takes you back to the good old days. That's one of the reasons why I ultimately decided on this selection of compositions and gratefully adopted several of your suggestions, even though I didn't even know all of the pieces and games. But they fit perfectly into this project. Thank you all again for all your suggestions. I also spent a long time fine-tuning the sound and ultimately returned to the Alicia Keys VST. I tried mastering it, and "unfortunately" this is the version that isn't completely flawless, but it's the one I like best in some ways, as certain frequencies come through better than in other versions or piano sounds. It's not perfect, but the bass in particular comes across clearer and cleaner than in many other versions. listen and enjoy :) Happy Birthday Amiga!" For all, like me, who didn´t know: "A prelude (German: Präludium or Vorspiel; Latin: praeludium; French: prélude; Italian: preludio) is a short piece of music, the form of which may vary from piece to piece."
