WELCOME TO TURRICAN

                Another day...
                                             ...another try

                        But remember: SHOOT OR DIE!


Rainbow Arts proudly presents:

The  first  demo-version  of  TURRICAN,  Rainbow  Arts newest title and the
hottest action-game ever!

This  demo  is  COMPLETELY  playable,  but  of course contains only a small
subset of the final game. The levels you see here are only three of 13! The
levels  are  spread  over  five  different  "worlds",  each one with unique
graphics.   Each  level will have its own music, special aliens and lots of
surprises.



     *** Turrican will be available in Europe sometime in May. ***

Controls:   Joystick  controls  player,  fire  fires  a  shot.  Keep button
pressed  and  move the joystick for "Mega-Flash".  Duck (Joystick down) and
press  space  for  Gyroscope.   Press space for the "Line"-Shot.  Alt/Amiga
(both  sides,  any  of the four keys) for the Smartbomb.  Duck and fire for
Landmines.  Instead of the spacebar you can also use a two-button-joystick.

Shoot  small  aliens  and collect extra weapons and power.  Or look out for
the  many hidden blocks and bonus-rooms.  Take as many diamonds as you want
-  in  the final game they will be worth collecting.  Look out for the time
limit  when  you  start  searching  for  the exit - and be aware that those
levels  are  REALLY HUGE!  Don´t attempt to draw a map though - you´ll need
more paper then to cover your whole room for the complete game!



Other things the final game will feature that are not in the demo:

* Character-Animation (falling waterfalls, moving spikes and traps, etc.) 
* Fabulous intro  
* Even more sound 
* Particle-implosion-system for the main sprite 
  (don´t ask us, just wait for the final game...)
