Mega Turrican shockingly has some of the better tunes on the Sega Genesis. Since Factor 5 made this game themselves with Turrican 1 and 2's composer Chris Huelsbeck the music is spot on. Mastering the grappling hook is key to clearing parts of the game like this boss. Presumably this is because you sent them there! These kind of continuity nods never fail to make me smile since it shows the developer really cares about their product and its history. One of my favorite parts in the game is the junk yard level, which is one of the more straight left-to-right stages, because it contains a few beat-up bosses from previous Turrican games. Mastering it will become key to making your way through the game. It's difficult to use at first and arguably still clumsy even when you become practiced at it but it's an interesting addition and in my opinion one that's utilized well by the level design. In its place is a grappling hook, giving the game some Bionic Commando styled flair.
Considering your primary weapons only shoot forward it was a very useful tool. Other than the less expansive levels the biggest change in Mega Turrican is the removal of the lightning whip, a powerful weapon that you could only use while standing still but aim in any direction. Check out the little alien capsules in the back. For me this was a welcome change and more in-line with the kind of action gaming that I'm used to. The old Turrican gameplay is mostly intact with some concessions to console gamers such as now getting knocked back when you're hit. The graphics are all very highly detailed and up until this point the franchise had never looked better. One advantage of this is that Factor 5 managed to give us some impressive set pieces with wonderful boss battles. Mega Turrican borrows more from the book of Contra than Metroid. While many stages still have a good bit of space for exploring, most are considerably more straightforward action affairs than its predecessors. The most controversial difference is the level design. Up until this point Turrican still didn't really have a good showing on home consoles and for better or worse, Mega Turrican seems to be designed to cater more towards the taste of Genesis owners than to fans of the Commodore computer originals. This artwork is not indicative of the game's quality. Some of the game is intact but the graphics were butchered and levels were removed and replaced with poorly designed ones.

It was released on the Genesis as the movie tie-in game, Universal Soldier. The second much more polished and popular game suffered an even worse fate.

The first game was ported to the Genesis by Code Monkeys but unfortunately suffers from lazy sound work and is ultimately inferior to the Amiga original. The hero can even transform into a ball that drops bombs like Metroid's Samus Aran. The unforgiving breakneck action and various weapon power-ups reminds one of Contra while the platforming, hidden secrets and sprawling levels will call Metroid to mind. It's been described by many as Contra meets Metroid which is about as apt a description I could give. You control an armored warrior whose fate is to blast through countless hordes of strange enemies. Turrican (which actualy refers to our hero's Turrican assault suit) is a side-scrolling run'n gun game mixed with lots of platforming elements and exploration. So just what the hell is a "Turrican" and what does it have to do with our beloved Genesis? I'm glad you asked.
