RetroVision – Turrican Trilogy Longplay (Amiga) mit PARALAX
Sun., March 9, 2025 at 7:00 PM - Mon., March 10, 2025 at 1:00 AM

In this special broadcast, you'll be treated to three longplays of the legendary "Turrican" game series on the Amiga, which were among the most popular games of the home computer era in the early '90s and redefined the "run-and-gun" genre. From the original C64 and subsequent Amiga versions, it was later ported to many other well-known systems such as the Atari ST and Amstrad CPC.

-Turrican (1990)
-Turrican 2: The Final Fight (1991)
-Turrican 3: Payment Day (1993)


All games will be preferably shown in the "1 Disk Original Version," complete with intro and outro.

You can find the video stream here: Radio PARALAX Video Stream

We wish you a lot of fun and good entertainment!"

"So., 9. März 2025 um 19:00 - Mo., 10. März 2025 um 1:00

In dieser Sondersendung erwarten euch gleich 3 Longplays der legendären „Turrican“-Spielereihe auf dem Amiga, die Anfang der 90er Jahre zu den populärsten Spielen der Heimcomputer-Ära zählten und das „Run-and-Gun“-Genre neu definierten. Von der ursprünglichen C64- und darauffolgenden Amiga-Version wurde es später auf viele andere bekannte Systeme wie dem Atari ST oder Amstrad CPC portiert.

– Turrican (1990)
– Turrican 2: The Final Fight (1991)
– Turrican 3: Payment Day (1993)

Alle Spiele werden vorzugsweise in der „1 Disk-Originalversion“ gezeigt, samt Intro und Abspann."

Turrican MSX
Also a bit older: Turrican MSX seems to be still in development and making progress :)

"A huge gfx update! The whole first level has been fully refactored from Davide Bottino, the guy behind the currently developed Toki C64 remake. He also redraw for me several sprites. All of them are planned but we have to solve the MSX1 limited VRAM issue (I already have some ideas on how to solve it). Go check his channel! "

Still pretty impressive for a Z80-Prozessor/3,58 MHz!

Article about Manfred Trenz, Andreas Escher and Turrican
The Saarbrücker Zeitung has an article about about Manfred Trenz, Andreas Escher and Turrican. "We were pioneers" sounds interesing - maybe an interview with Andreas Escher? Sadly, the article is behind a paywall which seems to have a minimum of 4 weeks subscription.

Saarbrücker Zeitung anyone? :)

TURRiCANOS sadly was a bit on hold:

"thank you for asking, I am working on the project but it is going very slowly at the moment. There have been some changes in my life and I have an injured right hand at the moment, but it’s better now( I hope so).

if I have something new in progress, I’ll let you know immediately here in the topic :wink:"

So, get well soon! :)

Featuring exclusive behind-the-scenes interviews from Factor 5 staffers Julian Eggebrecht and Holger Schmidt, our homage is unmissable for lovers of Turrican!"

TURRiCANOS • Game Project • WiP
As already seen in the shoutbox, a while ago I received an email about a promising new Turrican-Project, currently named "TURRiCANOS":

"Hello,
About two years ago I started working on the Turricanos project. And now, after two years, I'm coming back to it again because I had to put it down at the time. I have created a development log at the https://forum.godotengine.org/t/turricanos-game-project-wip/34664

I would like to finish it this year. Most of the work on it is already done ( levels, enemies, etc. ). I'm currently putting it together and remembering how I did it all two years ago. :)

I'll post progress and how the project is progressing at the above address.

So I'm answering the challenge on your site, I've been following your site for a very long time and I'm a big fan of Turrican since the AMIGA and C64 days.
"

It´s an attempt to remake Turrican 1-3 into one, apparently written in the Godot-Engine and already features some tasty particle-effects.

Follow it here:
https://forum.godotengine.org/t/turricanos-game-project-wip/34664

Bonus: there´s a really nice Turrican-Piano cover hidden in die comments on this page!

The Piano Collection - Volume II - The Players Choice
Chris Huelsbeck just released a new Piano Album on Bandcamp [edit*]:

"This is the long anticipated follow-up to the original Piano Collection, with 18 brand new arranged Piano renditions of many of Chris Huelsbeck's fan-favorite tracks. In fact, most of the playlist was curated through an online poll by the fans in 2020. Patrick Nevian is once again the performer and arranger for this new album and we hope you will like the result as much as we do!"

Bandcamp



Also check out the wonderful Amiga meets piano-Albums by Patrick Nevian if you haven´t!

*Thanks, Robert!
