Title: Holy ****, I finally beat Turrican 2
Post by: runequester on August 01, 2010, 12:53:43 AM
Maybe Im the worst person in the world at this, but I finally beat this game.

The alien levels are GRUELLING.  I ended with exactly 0 lives left, though I did have 4 continues unused from picking up diamonds.

Amazing game, and feels so good to finally beat it after so many years

actually Ive beaten that one quite a few times. Never beat 1 though...

2 is damn gruelling. The alien stage and the flight stages were tough as all hell.

I can still remember when I finally beat Turrican 2. It took a LOT of work. The joystick makes a huge difference in this game.

Feels good doesn't it :)? Have you beat Turrican 1? I think it's a tad harder than Turrican 2 even though T2 is a little more enjoyable.

Congratulations! :banana:

IMO all the Turrican games are quite challenging. Haven't even come close to finishing 2 yet, but finished 1 several times.

Yep, gonna have to play me some Turrican 1, 2, and 3 tonight.....

:laughing:

I havent beaten 1 yet. It seems the levels are a bit bigger and more open, so I tend to get lost in where to go :)

One problem I have with the game is having to press the space bar in order to use special abilities! Switching between the joystick and pressing the space bar is quite a hassle!!

beg, borrow or steal a proper 2 button joystick or pad, and it'll make life SOOOO much easier.

I struggled through on my competition pro and yeah, it sucks :)

I have converted all my old competition pro joysticks to two buttons... :)

Its very simple to do, all you need is some 7 core cable and a 9 pin plug
(most old mice cable's have enough wires, but you can easily get a new length of cable and a nine pin female plug from places like Maplins..)

Wire it up as normal,

IE: Pin 1 for up / Pin 2 for down / Pin 3 for Left / Pin 4 for Right
     Pin 6 For Button 1 / Pin 9 For Button 2 & of course Pin 8 for Ground

Works a treat for those few games that require two buttons and is easier (I think) than using the old amiga joypads. :)

Last time I remember to played it through, I think I had more than 60 lives (or even more?) etc. left. Of course, I spent most of the time finding all those secrets and extra lives. Turrican 3 was dead easy, too :-/
