Best VGM 489 - Super Turrican - Stage 1-3

[supercj12]

Eh this version is OK, but for 1 thing, its to slow, The genesis version seams faster, and this also isnt that loud, probibly because of the added bass.

[MrGBocci]

Turrican and Mario the best soundtracks

[Mugicha808]

One of the few games where I would play just to hit certain stages (like this one), find a safe spot to stand, and listen in awe. Thanks SD!

[iMickeyT]

Forgot to say did anyone else think at the time? That some of the ideas and themes and music in the game could have come from the transformers movie back in the 80's??

[iMickeyT]

awesome! awesome! This is one of those games that sticks in my head, I couldn't get over how good the music was for a 16bit-er at the time.. and even today years and years on it's still sweet!!

It's still one of my all time favs!!

[9Raza]

Damn it Supra, you'r gonna make me buy a new MP3 för more space soon! =D

[ffjfvfhu]

i like how this sounds like the opening to a movie in the 90's.

[AVET87]

I just got the game today and I'm inlove with it haha

[DeuueaughProductions]

My lord, does this bring back memories

[P4W3R]

MMMMM, never played but, i have to playyyy!!!

[hairyguy23]

Awesome

[SparklesofUnity]

still sounds better then some of todays rotten games. snes dsp sound chip pushed to the MAX.

[studentofthegospel]

I hated having to always be firing... couldn't hear the music clearly!

[blackshadow148]

Amazing, i really love it :D

[NinjaGhostScorpion]

Has a volcanic dinosaur island feel to it.

[dposey38]

@NinjaGhostScorpion Thats exactly what I got from it too.

[jct546]

Song is amazing and hilarious at the same time. My friends and i typically make parody lyrics about Jesus making us food and many other things. Lately, it's been "Big Ass Monkey" when 0:46 starts playing. Long story, it's just an awesome theme that you can sing almost anything with.

[Shnarrffmann]

21:00 = CHILLS

[StayTogetherOnePiece]

Oh yeah! I know when I was playing Turrican I and II (on Atari ST) for hours without the need for food or drink ;o) Unfortunetly I've never played other parts on Consoles or the Amiga, because the Music is amazing on that machines!!

[rockmusscarcella]

0:45

[WildL1on]

Cheap Trick - Surrender...in case ya'll didn't already know...

[LoranGirdeuxXFM]

i need 3 soundtracks

1 stage 3 boss head

2 stage 4-1alien ship

3 stage 4-3 alien ship

have someone that tracks???

[8bitJoker]

sweet

[AmigaRipperMOD]

I FOUND IT!

For the people that are curious about this song at the Amiga port, you can listen to it in the "Turrican 3" version, stage 2-1 (if I am not mistaken)

[SyriusBelsferg]

I want to hear the Amiga version of this tune. Does anybody know if it was on the first or second Amiga Turrican, and which stage was it?

Thanks.

[goshogun1]

One of my favorite OSTs of all time. Sometimes I just play the game to hear the music.

[RetroVGamer]

The tracks in this game were so long and melodic. I love them!!!

[Malphas87]

the amiga version sounds so much better than absoIuteIy anything.

[masterfox3000]

I only had Super Turican 2. Was 1 better? This music kicks ass.

[Icedude32]

after playing both of them I can safely say,yes the first is better, but only from my point of view

[dawood88]

the song of bonus stage is way better

[NohStar]

like it, it's nice and melancholic

[Temjin99]

Super Turrican had some of the best music of the 16bit generation.

[Vetpix]

@Temjin99 My favourite from the 90´s, even over normal music.

[karmierez]

Great game great song and now i'm actually imagning the lyrics

[SeraphicRadiance24]

Never heard that song before, so thanks for uploading! This one is great!

[Manialt]

You should read up on composers and write that down as well, this is a tribute to the creators of the music right ?

[Emperordante]

it sounds like it needs lyrics.

[arctrooper48]

Stage 3-1 is the one with the Robot Fish, right? And the tons of Yellow powerups...?

[Babybahamut]

Did Chris Huelsbeck write the SNES version music too or was he only involved with the Amiga versions?

[SupraDarky]

Yes he did.

[WeskerSega]

He has been involved in everything Factor 5 related, which includes the Amiga Turrican games, the MD Mega Turrican and the SNES Super Turrican games.

[Babybahamut]

Good to know, thanks for the info.

[metaboliko]

@Babybahamut he wrote the OST for all turrican versions then he addapted them to each console

[wolvebuck]

I'm really liking this track. Thanks for posting.

[LSalazar8]

this sounds like a montauge

[Klagmar]

Lol it does!

[tangramman]

YES

TURRICAN MUSIC

Great choice. Definitely needs more music from the Turrican series.

[saladshootavvv]

Thank you sooooo much for posting this. I listen to this track all the time but the only way to find this track is on some low quality youtube music compilation. This is one of my all time favorite tunes, you have no idea how awesome it is that you posted this!

[broncovols]

About time this song and game made it on the list. This game had an amazing soundtrack!

[umkay123]

very true

[CleverDjembe]

Ohhh man, Turrican... the fast-paced title theme is the best for me, thou.

[Sephiko]

Great song. Also, that's the first time I've noticed a "watch this video in a new screen option."

[assgoblin2damax]

Possibly the best in the game. The Genesis "Mega Turrican" version of this is also awesome. I actually enjoy the Mega Turrican soundtrack more than the two SNES Turrican OSTs even considering the audio capabilities of the Genesis were inferior to the SNES. This and Stage 3-1's theme from "Mega Turrican" are great.

[BloisFulcher]

Amen to that. Air Ride is one of the best.

I notice that the tempo for a lot of the Turrican 3 and Super Turrican tracks is a bit slower than in the original Mega Turrican version. This one and the Amiga version of this track are good examples.

Long live Turrican.

[DocGamer]

I like all the music from Turrican. I especially liked all the music from the 1st stage in this game!

[SupraDarky]

Having Dolby Surround was pretty impressive at that time. Factor 5 always tries to push the technology.

[nintendo1889x]

@SupraDarky Too bad Factor 5 went under. Just look at Rouge Squadron for the Gamecube...that too was very impressive for 2001!

[VGKing]

Wow, this sounds like it was ripped right from the 90s. Makes me want to grow a mullet :P.

[telaran]

Ripped from the 90's? The game was released in the 90's, so I guess it should sound like that decade :)
