Amiga Longplay [061] Turrican

[WinAFreeAppleIPod]

@P5BDeluxeWiFi Turrican is for autistic retards from shit countries that dont allow violence or fun gameplay

[neofiren]

my God, I had 4 years when I played this



[Turrican4D]

You lost many lives! :)))

[cubex55]

@Turrican4D

Check longplay 399

[cheekyegg]

@Turrican4D are you seeking some kind of pointless recognition?

[WinAFreeAppleIPod]

Turrican is for eurotrash faggot dicksuckers who aren't cool enough to play contra or metal slug

[P5BDeluxeWiFi]

@WinAFreeAppleIPod Contra/Metal Slug is for those who prefer to suck Japanese cock than support their own ,Well done America ,Atari and Commodore hardware could have been around today if you didn't suck at the Mario teat so hard ;)

[Tamanozke]

You think the developers put enough extra lives in the game?!

[amodelamateria]

somone refuse to die in the second level.... hehehe, nice

[REALSlutHunter]

Hey Cubex why are you Start to play before the Complette Intro Music run ? The T1 Intro Music is good as in T2, and in T2 you leave the Complette Intro -.-

[cubex55]

@REALSlutHunter

This is an early longplay, watch longplay 399 :)

[Destronr]

Best game of Amiga for me...

[y2k4ever1]

[Sirtzael]

If you like this Game and want to play a remake of it so i recommend you to try out Poke 53280's Hurrican. It's a free game and worthy of the name equality to Turrican. It has even a fake cracktro in the beginning ;) I have nothing to do with the programmers nor the site but i hold it my duty to show you this jewel.

[y2k4ever1]

@Sirtzael Thanks, il look it up, but i meant for , i know this is cliche, but the PS Vita, or the 3ds, or the Wii u, using a mixture or the Amiga sound channels, the commodore 64 SID channels, and the Sega genesis FM synthases for music and sound effects, now that would be amazing, anyhow thanks, il look it up. :)

[y2k4ever1]

Turrican is a master piece, i wish they would make a new one, but with the same styled music and still a platformer, just with enhanced graphics.

[y2k4ever1]

I love the Amiga so much because the music reminds me so much of when i was a small kid, playing spyro the dragon on ps1, i seriously think insomniac took a big lesson from the Amiga, it just has, whats the word, soul to it ya know.

[matt82pulses]

Turrican was at Depeche Mode keyboards from 1986 to 1993. You can ear by yourself! When he left, Depeche Mode never been the same. :D

[jki73]

That amiga music site, AWESOME WORK!!!!!!

Truly unbelieveble nostalgy :)

Thank you very much for it!!! :D

[turrican1900]

Is that Gordon Browns' clonking great fist at 6:53?

[Simonthestud]

I remember the music was one of the best parts of Turrican. Well I say that the game was incredible too! The 2nd I remember was only ruined by the crappy japanese anime flavour.

[superGottx]

das spiel ist sau schwer

[AZUREGLIDE]

Turrican 1 was a game I completed on the Amiga. A great game and some of the best music in video games too.

[Steril707]

33:45 to 36:34: Best Chiptune ever

[Alevamltd]

@ 21:05

What do you call that kind of music?

could someone PLEASE tell me?

[cubex55]

@Alevamltd

Check our channel FAQ - there you will find download links for all the amiga music :)

[Alevamltd]

@cubex55

Thanks but I really just want to know what kind of music it is

I keep hearing music like it on outdated websites

and I like it

[AZUREGLIDE]

@Alevamltd Neo folk / Ambient Goth.

[ryzmaker11]

@AZUREGLIDE nice m8! ^_^

personnaly turrican is BY FAR one of the greatest video game ever, it's a state of art in every way! *_*

[MeatMaggot]

@Alevamltd Genre-wise I'd say it goes into darkwave territory, but at the end of the day, there's no genre by definition to this. It's just Chris Hülsbeck.

[jki73]

@Alevamltd

I call it kind of nostalgic :)

[isomorph76]

@Alevamltd I'd say this music is originally SID chip based(C64), but the composer Chris Huelsbeck is a legend, along with this game. 'Electronica' I'd say. VERY inspirational and a milestone in gameplay and music on the Amiga. I brought an Amiga recently specifically for this game and the second one. I remember when I first played the second part of the first level, not seen or heard anything like it before. Awesome, and still is!

[RitschardLoewenherz]

There was magic to most of the Amiga Games. They not only were games, they were lifestyle, religion. Back then, Games had a soul.

[Lenovowin7]

Dein Link hat mir wirklich weiter geholfen Vielen Dank

[Acid1K05]

:-)))) ...

[Ascyltos]

0.36 - Other games play, Turrican kills!

[Turrican4D]

@fredmooretwo

In fact, the best way ist to lose two lifes at purpose (running out of time), cause for the items you could collect this way, you get more points than for the two lifes at the end of the game.

[Lenovowin7]

Ich habe Heute Turrican 1 durchgespielt mann du hattest gerade mal 1Stunde und 30 Min ich habe es in 3 Stunden geschafft aber was mich aufgehalten hat war die Alien Technology.

[Turrican4D]

@Lenovowin7

Man benötigte exakt 120 Minuten, wenn man die maximal mögliche Punktzahl herausholen wollte.

[ptreno6]

1990? That long ago!

I forgot how long the ending theme song was.

It's like a full 3 minute track...amazing :)

[katakisLives]

The key to beating turrican is knowing where you are going! which isn't always an easy thing (especially in the later levels! I never got past a certain level for years because I could not find my way out of it! the last level is a maze! an evil maze where time is your biggest enemy!

[superman1234393]

One of my favorite games on the Amiga. It's kind of tough though. Thanks for posting dude.

[c3dr1cb]

two words : THE BEST

[FREAKout59]

lol nice kinda like the old school metroid prime

[RetroSpectreUK]

I never quite made it past 1:17:00 ...damn I'll have to try it again.

[doctorbubble]

That alien level is a real buggar to play at times - bloody spiked walls that zap your energy argghhh!! LOL

[RetroSpectreUK]

@doctorbubble you got that right, I never got passed that level....drove me nuts. Fantastic game otherwise.

[Durendal33]

This game was epic...but hard as fuck

[Turrican4D]

@Durendal33

I saw it more as a highscoregame back then, when my reflexes were fresh at the age of 18. I do not remember, how much lives there were at the end of the game to count as bonus to my score anymore.

[WaffleKogen]

Really cool game. Too bad it is nearly impossible.

[schnubbel76]

0:34:00 loved this soundtrack so much. oh boy, good old synthie 80's come back :)

[ChristianMiersch]

@fredmooretwo I started playing it with 14... You collect as much extralifes in world 1 (lvl 1 2 3) as you can (30 or so) and then you have enough lifes to experiment. Nothing special, I just played alot, I didnt had the goal "without loosing a life", I played it just for fun. I died LOTS of times everywhere, over the time you just start to know how to behave everywhere. The hardest part is surviving world 4 level 3 (3 head beast lvl) because no power up's there. World 4 in general is hardest.

[FuNoK83]

epic game!!!

[BVargas78]

This used to be my favourite, i used to play it every day :)

[barryoaten1]

i still remember the cheat for this game,entering your name as bluesmobil on the hi score table to get 99 lives.

[Co19801003]

Only now did I notice Rainbow Arts have recycled one of the X-out in-game tunes (around 34 minuten in this vid). I remember playing Turrican this far and then trying to think what the music reminded me of, but after all the musical violence of the earlier levels, it did not occur to me; now it did.

I find the music rather annoying really, while I usually love Turrican music. Turrican I was the only game I preferred to play on the C64.

[schpongled]

I can't remember how young I was, but i'm pretty sure I nearly crapped my pants when I saw and HEARD this game for the first time on a friends A500. Absolutely awesome stuff, and a real nostalgia trip!

ST better for sound?? You what?

[renegadedog]

The game had a perfect difficulty curve. You got a bit further each time.

Has anyone got a link to complete MP3s for the two games?

[cubex55]

Read our channel FAQ - theres download links :)

[Kousaburo]

Awesomesoundtrack.

[RitschardLoewenherz]

The game is way too easy. And far too short as well.

[tempusfugitangel]

34:00 music is my childhood

[tehopumppu]

The sounds, the music, the GAME! I think I just had an orgasm.

[xZalex90]

The first game i have ever played .. <3

I guess i was around 4

[ChristianMiersch]

A c'mon, T1 is very easy. You just have to collect the extra lifes in the first 5-6 levels then the later part becomes a joke.

[zemestream]

Lies, this game was a serious challenge.

[ChristianMiersch]

Not a lie, Im speaking about my experience. I can play it from start to end without loosing one life.

[elbirvive]

and the question here is:

who cares?

[goodflo911]

turrican 1 is plain evil in it's difficulty. Back then games were brutal and not ment to be finished within 1-2 days:P

/shudders of horrible horrible bosses and the giger inspired maps.

btw too bad you play it on amiga emu, atari had better music by far:(

[wrestletube1]

Turrican was the same on both systems for the intro music actually I've compared.

[blade004]

I actually found Turrican 1 to be extremely easy. The only thing that would have made it hard was missing all the extra lives.

A game that was HARD for me was SWIV for which i did manage to finish but with only 1 life left! :) You are right though, these games were brutal which is what made completing them all the more sweet!

[Turrican4D]

@blade004

There was one glitch in the game, where you would stuck forever, if you accidently shoot up a special skull in the masses of skulls, cause you could'n climb up anymore to a platform, you were supposed to reach. Even suicide did not help, cause the damn skull won't come back again.

[ChristianMiersch]

@Turrican4D This skull was the entrance to the extra-life area in World 4-2 and not required for completing the level. But since it was very easy to die there (in 4-2), and the exit was not so obvious, this myth is understandable.

[porcorosso81]

You are joking, right? The ST version sounds HORRIBLE.

[goodflo911]

Are you serious? Go download the emu + rom asap, then come back after you've heard it (besides 1 level that is soundless on hacked version lol) that the music is worse.

You never heard it or you have some severe autism that causes you to mishear things. It is well established that the st was superior with sound (whilst the amiga could do nicer gfx overall)

[porcorosso81]

If you prefer bleep and bloop square waves to fully digitized samples, I'm not so sure who is the one here having a serious deficiency in his cognitive skills. I guess back in the day, you guys were dacing to the beeping alarm sound of your wrist watches... ;)

[cain19822004]

@porcorosso81 From that, I guess you probably 10 or something, I grew up with these games, I've been gaming for over 20 years, so don't comment on something you don't know anything about. :)

[porcorosso81]

@cain19822004

I doubt anyone being 10 today would know how much Atari ST sound sucks.

And I also seriously doubt you have grown up since then. ;)

[cain19822004]

@porcorosso81 The sounds only 'suck' by todays standards, and yes, I'm still young, how did you guess? Some people don't find it hard to be an adult and still enjoy video games, we're not all stuffy old farts.

[porcorosso81]

@cain19822004

Nothing you write here has anything to do with what I wrote in the first post, and the second in my response to your attack on me and my age. The Atari ST sound sucked even harder in the 80's, when most people knew that the same sound chip was present in many cheaper 8 Bit systems. Compare that to the Amiga, and you know that your idiotic "only suck by todays" standards reveals your lack of knowledge, perhaps due to young age. I'm probably older than you.

[porcorosso81]

I owned an Atari ST several years ago, but gave it away because to me, the machine has no flair. Playing games on it made me always cringe, because almost all of them were hopelessly inferior to the Amiga version. Jerky scrolling (if there is any scrolling at all), either primitive square wave sound or highly aliased samples, and in lots of later games less colours, the RGB output has ugly, vertical stripes in the video signal.

On the other hand, it could have been worse: a PC from the time.

[RFC3514]

@porcorosso81 - You must have had a very strange Atari ST, with something wrong in your video out. I still have an ST 1040F and the RGB output (13 pin connector to SCART) is flawless. The Amiga did have better support for sampled sound (despite having worse FM sound synthesis, and no MIDI), but Turrican actually sounds slightly better on the ST, IMO (more bass, less "bleepy"). In terms of graphics, Turrican looks identical on both, it doesn't really show off the Amiga's extra hardware.

[ChristianMiersch]

Nicer with sound, yes, but this goes in regard to midi, the ST had a built in Midi port, and indeed the Ataris where used back then in many professional sound studios. But this tells nothing about the actual sound hardware capability, Midi has nothing to do with that.

[Turrican4D]

@goodflo911

Waht? Gamemusic was always shitty on Atari ST. Amiga was way better in graphics AND in the music department.

[sirgarence]

Wow, what memories this brought back! Thanks for posting!

[scannercicret]

Greate grafic game and I will play it in the time I can buy a strong Amiga and that I need to the Amiga computer.

[tempusfugitangel]

34:00 the music is awesome..i remembe playing all the time..

[Reviewmore]

I have this amiga game but after the speech "Welcome to turrican HAHA" The whole game crashes :(. Good old memorys!. At that time i had nes 8 bit version too and this game reminds me of contra on nes 8 bit. Also i remember this game have 2 player mode isnt that correct? Thanks for this video tough.

[conoba]

I fondly rember this game. One of the first I ever owned. I wanted to become a game programmer back then.

[magix27]

this games back then were my initial motivation to study informatcs and become a MSc

[mohanicus]

aw man this was a cool game.

anyone remember that fuckin metal pirahna fish in this game.

took ages to kill the bastard.

great memories.

[iainhead]

Seem to remember i was the best at this game

[Turrican4D]

@iainhead

Nope. I was the best. Killed ecery enemy, catched every item and had a maximum of extralives as a scorebonus at the end of thegame-> maximum score possible achieved.

[revengeofthedog]

There was an almost spiritual quality to this game. Completely unique.

[MxDsigN]

Ich glaube, ich war der Einzige, der Turrican mit 2.500000 Punkten beenden konnte.

[poopskinTheLiar]

did the original one have the whole "bren McGuire v. the machine" plot?

[WeskerSega]

Nope. It's an unnamed "warrior" (refered as simply "the warrior") facing some sort of rebel IA network system called MORGUL here in the original Turrican. The Bren McGuire vs The Machine recurrent plot of the series was started in Turrican II and followed then by the subsequent console Turricans (Mega Turrican/Super Turrican and Super Turrican 2).

[poopskinTheLiar]

What makes this even more confusing is T2's manual, which has a plot that's a continuation of T1, when T2 has the whole Bren thing in the intro.

What a wierd inconsistency, the manual and the game having two different plots.

[WeskerSega]

Must be some kind of inconsistency between the development side (the Manfred Trenz team for the C64 and the Factor 5 team for the Amiga) and the publishing side (Rainbow Arts). Probably the developers had in mind to simply continue the "unnamed warrior" plot at the beginning, but came up with the new Bren McGuire plot in later stages and added an itro to it but whoever was tasked to do the manual in the publisher forgot to revise it. It was common thing to happen in those years.

[WeskerSega]

Then again, I think the in-game plot is the one that should be relied the most, not only because its represented in the own game, but because its the one followed by the subsequent Turrican games.

[Onijsan]

When i poped this baby in my 600 and heard them famous words of "WEEELLCOME TO TUURICANN!" I knew i was in for a great game

[Topherspace]

Damn, this game was crazy hard! :O good times though

[Heretic875]

the amigas not the problem its finding turrican! i cant find it!

[casperld]

1990!! Yikes Im getting old. Truly great game.

[xserpentx]

its so weird watchin this... like a trip back in time.. thx 4 uplading ;)

[petrobiker]

true

[ULTIMARAGNAR0K]

Man I had all the Turrican games I like played it a billion times when I was 3 So pro at it now I suck :(

[gumdeo]

Magnificence.

[FredDude27]

Now this is a pillar in the Amiga gaming world. Even if you hadn't played it back in the day you had HEARD of Turrican. :)
