A500 Turrican 3 - Intro

Funny story, this Turrican. It was actualy made and finished first for the Sega Megadrive/Genesis to be published by Data East (named Mega Turrican), but that took so long, the amiga version was finished afterwards and made it to retail before the Megadrive version. sporting better music. If look up in the dictionary for "flawless" and "OST", there should be a picture of Chris Hüeslbeck in there. Or at least, there should be.

Totally underrated, the Amiga-Gametracks of T3. Together with the maintheme of T2 the best Chris ever did.

[ShiryuGL]

No love for T1? T_T

[andi4life]

the graphics and sound effects of amiga games of the early 90s like this one are sooo cool !!! you don't get that anymore with the games of today

dat chin..

Wow this takes me back to late 1993. Chris Huelsbeck just kept churning out classic Turrican themes for these games. This one was every bit as good as T2 and that's saying something. Brilliant.

[OmegaKid1972]

Another incredible piece from Chris, not at T2 level but a shiny piece of music, like how he try to put a total new writing on this one, even with a LOVELY reprise at 3:36. Love the piano parts. Far superior than Genesis version.

@SarahKreuz31

Underrated, yes. It is still a fantastic soundtrack, especially the intro.

But all in all, in my opinion, Turrican 2 has the best video game soundtrack of all time. Unmatched to this day. T2 undoubtedly is Chris` masterpiece.

best memorys ever.

@ShiryuGL Don't worry! I played all Turrican series and T1 is longer my favourite!!!

[Adropacrich2]

I often hear how Turrican3's music doesn't compare to T2 but there are at least 5 absolute genius songs in the game. Intro takes it's time to grow on you but it's a strong decent piece

I would certainly give the edge to T2 for the amount great songs - especially the title piece, but T3's early levels do feature easily comparable and staggering work

I think even Chris Huelsbeck wonders just how he managed such fine tune work of back then- he was obviously plugged into the source

[cheetahman91]

Much better than the one from the Genesis version.

Jay Leno envies that chin.
