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:

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!"

*Thanks, Robert!

Turrican Review/Series Retrospective - Kimble Justice
Another nice Turrican overview video.

"Finally. People have requested Turrican for a pretty damn long time, and even though I'm kind of crap at the games...well, here it is! Finally. This video covers pretty much all the Turrican games out there, mostly focusing on the Amiga versions - all the three big games are there, Super Turrican on the NES and SNES, a whole bunch of ports...and yes, there's room for Universal Soldier too! So do enjoy this look back at one of Europe's more influential series of games. Remember, shoot or DIE!!!"

Thanks to Retro Pedro for the tip! :)

A Deep Dive into Turrican Oddities
Luna Morley extensively reviewed some of the more obscure Turrican Versions and spinoffs and even bought an Siemens M65 phone for that. Did anyone else really play that through, I mean, seriously? :)

And if anyone has insights on the making of "Apocalypse 3000", please let us all know!

"Last year, we covered the Amiga games, console sequels by Factor 5, and the recent collections for modern consoles. Now let's cover...everything else. Get strapped in because there's a lot to go through and things might get weird."

New Huelsbeck Albums
Chris Huelsbeck has released two new albums:

Tiny Thor
Dressed to Chill


The Tiny Thor soundtrack contains some nice reminiscences to Turrican and Giana Sisters (and other things I might have overheard), see if you can spot them, too ;).
If you haven´t seen Tiny Thor yet, check it out, it´s a retro themed jump´n´run with graphics made by Henk Nieborg and was created by Jochen Heizmann, which also was active in the amiga scene.

Turrican Cosplay by Ravenlordess
A while ago I contacted cosplayer Ravenlordess, which does some amazing Turrican cosplay, if she could send me some pictures so I could add them to the bonusfiles.

So she did and after sleeping on my harddrive for I year I finally managed to put together a new subpage, including a short chat, enjoy!
Especially check out the video at the bottom!

A third Turrican suit is in the making, so please support and motivate her at the platform of your choice.
