Quick but blurry graphics and fast-paced action come together smoothly in this thumb-blistering side-scroller. It's sure to knock the shoot out of you!

Mega Turrican is a shooter with lasting power. Don't expect to finish it in a sitting - not with 15 horizontally and vertically scrolling levels to explore. You've got a bunch of weapons and gadgets at your disposal and you'll need every plasma-rope and energy wheel if you hope to survive. Hold on!

Bereits vor gut einem Jahr präsentierte die kölsche Programmiertruppe Factor 5 stolz eine fertige Mega-Drive-Version der Kultserie "Turrican". Aufgrund vertriebstechnischer Wirren hat es jedoch bis heute gedauert, ehe der Action-Titel über Data East erschien. Dabei muß sich die deutsche Produktion vor der Konkurrenz nicht verstecken: Fünf Welten mit insgesamt 15 Levels und ebensovielen Mega-Motzen beschäftigen den Spieler.

Mega Turrican is a very good game. The levels are huge and there are many and there are many power-ups and items to collect. The levels are huge and your character's swing cable is a great and innovative weapon.

I've always enjoyed the Turrican games, even the first (which my friends said was too hard). Mega Turrican ups the ante and delivers fast paced action that will surely please any shooter fan. Games like this are a dying breed today, which is a shame, as blowing things up with big guns never gets old. If you have a Genesis (I refuse to believe anyone out there doesn't!) get yourself a copy and have some mindless, senseless fun for a while.

Wer hätte je gedacht, daß wir noch mal als Bren McGuire gegen "The Machine", die Endgültige, antreteten müßten; nach all der Rumballerei auf dem C-64, Super Nintendo, Game Boy, etc. Selbst auf dem Mega Drive gab es vor zwei Jahren schon einen Vorläufer. Vor einem Jahr durften wir die ersten Level in der Vorabversion durchzocken. Nach einigen Anlaufschwierigkeiten ist Meg Turri vor kurzem in den USA endlich erschienen.
