Turrican

Okay.

Before I go on to my first choice, I have... purposefully excluded games that have been on Nnedi before because there's nothing I can say about Dizzy that Andy did any day when he played it or Turrican when you know McCormick played it so it's either going over old ground and they would have been a good chance of being on here

we've also like excluded like definitive versions on other systems like your Monkey Islands your Maniac Mansion and I think arcade conversions because Bubble Bobble I would have put on I've

left out arcade conversions as well also like Paperboy I've played that on the C64 and the Master System.

Aye.

The screen...

but then was it Turrican 2 was the first one that was like fuck that we'll just make the whole thing move

so the Great Guiana Sisters was this shameless Mario rip-off but these boys in West Germany managed to day the smooth scrolling that they had got to work on Nintendos but on fucking C64s which is actually a fucking massive technical thing and they were just daying it to rip-off Mario

It's

got Turrican style or something,

right? Yeah, Turrican Alien Syndrome, that kind of...

It's a fun game.

I remember playing that a lot.

[laughs]

Uh, but, um, the- the spit technique in this is- is straight out of Turrican.

Uh, you, uh, you hold the button down, and then once you've got the button depressed, you can move your, uh, you can move your man's head around at upward angles, and he can sh- he'll spit accordingly once you let go of the button.

What did you think of the spitting, uh, part of the game?

I believe is how you pronounce it.

And he was the music composer for the Turrican series.

Oh, okay.

And other video games as well.

But I think most people probably know him best for Turrican.

So I was just kind of sandwiched in between these two industry icons.

And then here's me with my little YouTube channel.

give me five.

Yeah, would it be Turrican, Genesis, Prince of Persia, ooh, what's the car game with the vector?

Stock Car Racer?

Yeah, Stock Car Racer, yeah.

We know exactly what each other's thinking.

Those are some good choices right there.

Would you pick Turrican 1 or Turrican 2? 2, maybe.

Very good.
