So, anyone who grew up with an Amiga – or even a SNES or Sega Genesis – will likely remember the name Turrican. Aside from Contra, this series defined run-and-gun from the 80s and beyond, with Factor 5 taking over at a crucial time and introducing key entries that everyone could enjoy. Alas, aside from
Factor 5’s *chef’s kiss* classic franchise touches down on Switch and its ever growing catalog in two volumes of the Turrican Anthology, full of retro run ‘n gun goodness.
TGG says: "Turrican Anthology Vol. I & II have some great games and the extra features that have been added are among the best that I’ve seen in a retro game collection. That is why it is such a shame that these are two separate collections that are priced so high as I can’t fully recommend them at the asking price."
From PSU: "In the end, though Turrican Anthology Vol. 2 doesn't feel quite as essential as its predecessor, the inclusion of both Turrican 3 and Mega Turrican, not to mention Super Turrican 2, still makes this ensemble of side-scrolling, platforming shooter retro goodness a worthwhile venture for fans of the genre."
Anyone who had a system able to play games should remember this, it was released on just about everything. I had it for my C64.
