Turrican

So they're reviewing a lot of big games, right? It's a good month for ST Gaming.

There's Turrican as well.

That's a big one.

I'm just an 80s platformer, really.

80s, 90s platformers.

Yeah, Turrican.

Brilliant, brilliant game, Turrican, which only gets 82.

I think Strider is in there as well, later on.

well let's get into the next

sure this is from turrican 3 uh this was released in 1993 this was originally made by factor 5 on the mega drive but then to make it for the amiga this company kaiko was the one that converted it to this port and even though the mega drive port was made first this one was released first for some reason i don't know why But anyway, the developer was, like I said, Kaiko.

The publisher is Rainbow Arts for the Amiga.

And the composer is Chris Holzbeck, who we've talked about quite a bit.

was back

yeah so

but yeah this track's a banger it's in a few different turrican games like i said it's in the mega drive mega turrican game it's also i believe in turrican 2 on the super nintendo and then in this turrican 3 game but i like this track a lot And Chris was talking about how when he makes music, his focus is just on what's the hooky, catchiest melody he can make.

Like, I just want that melody to hook you and keep you humming it in the shower, basically.

I haven't played that in a while, so I have been rusty in terms of the Rhythm Games society.

I used Rusty on that as I was at Turrican the other day when I played it.

Oh,

dude.

Well, the difference between that and a game like Turrican...

Turrican is retro platformer hard.

Like, that's close to...

You know, like, proper old-school platformer hard.

But we just need a bit more variety, you know what I mean? Anyway, look.

Okay, so who is it? Chris Turrican and his song, Oops, I've Done a Whoopsie, for the Sega Genesis.

Yeah.

No, no.

So Turrican, probably one of the best soundtracks.

What's Turrican?

Yeah.

Is it like Pemmican? Sorry, go on.

Like a, you know, like an old school, a game of that nature.

Turrican or something.

Uh, also like just the way the icon bar works, like the...

You'll see what I mean if you play it, but like, like the way you slot your items into your hot bar just feels very old, old computer game.
