Lets TURRICAAAAAN on MSX.

Now, it seems as if this re-programming does not use a time limit. Which I welcome.

Get the diamond's and the 1ups and duck and shoot... Remember shoot or die

Haha, wow you guys are not big fans of Turrican! I loved it in the Amiga and DOS times (during my first year of college, I used to beat Turrican 2 once a week or so, just for fun, I knew every single corner of the map, hahaha). Indeed there was a few rough corners of the game, like the scroll centering, or the levels where you are a spaceship, which very rudimentary. And I would have also liked to have some more elements of adventure, like having to find switches, or keys, etc. But I still love it! Probably one of the things that makes this game so memorable is the soundtrack, which is amazing! I still listen to it to this day! Another thing that I found cool (as a kid), was going through the map finding optional "bosses", which were not needed for beating a level, but were cool graphically (like the giant "fist", which if I remember correctly was not on the direct path to the exit).

I am not sure if the comparison to Metroid is very accurate though, since Metroid is very much a "metroidvania", where you need to go back and forth in the map finding items, unlocking paths, etc. whereas Turrican is more arcade, like Thexder.

I wonder why it can't provide the bytes to be played on a real MSX, if it indeed plays MIDI as a SCC.....
