A500 Turrican - Intro

Having and Amiga and never playing this is criminal. The first of one of the most famous games by Factor 5 ever made, brought arcade quality platform shooting action to my home. Legendary OST by childhood reference, Chris Hüelsbeck, that used is own TMFX format to make the Amiga output 7 sound channels, instead of the regular 4.

never got into the game but could sit and listen to the music all night. Its incredible to think the quality of games thay could fit on 1/2 meg floppies. for me these guys had more talent than programmers nowadays, they had to squeeze so much into so little

US pop culture is alright, but once you get a taste of the awesome gravel scraped Berlin Wall, Soviet Union, C64 and the space program, you remember there was a wind going through Europe during the late 80's. Hearing this music, I can close my eyes and still feel the cold breeze from back then. How it searched its way from the green grass and my worn Nike shoes, all the way up to my grey hoodie. Only to make a sudden turn and reach for the sky - leaving me with that everlasting air in my lungs.
