Fan-Made Prequel to Turrican II – Set Entirely Inside the Intro Ship




Hi everyone!
I’m working on a personal project: a fan-made game that serves as a direct prequel to Turrican II.

The core idea is to show what actually happens during the intro of the original Amiga game—the attack on the Freedom Forces’ ship and the fall of the crew. My game will end exactly where Turrican II begins, so players will realize in the final scene that the first level of the classic game starts right after the events they just experienced.

The entire adventure takes place inside the large spaceship seen in the intro. I’m imagining it as a massive structure with multiple decks and sectors, giving me plenty of room to design varied and coherent levels.
Each area will have its own atmosphere, hazards, and narrative beats, gradually building up to the ship’s total collapse.

Project Goal
The goal is to show the fall of the ship from the inside, following the protagonist as he fights through the invasion and tries to survive. The ending will connect directly to the opening of Turrican II, creating a narrative bridge that the original game never showed.

Happy New Year


The A600GS and the A1200NG both run AmiBench.  This has a modern web browser that can view YouTube.  It can play videos and MP3 files.  AmiPDF has just been released which is a modern PDF viewer.  We are developing even more applications this year to move it towards being a daily driver.

I created a save state once I got into the menu and then tried launching it from that.

EDIT It works now as long as I don’t create a save state. Saving the settings also messes things up and after that it reboots to the Kickstart screen. I noticed a bit of slowdown in some of the games I tried briefly.

That sounds like the behaviour I saw after launching from a Save State. Were you using one to quick launch AGS?

That via is RGA_3 and looks ok on the multimeter. I also did a direct wire pin2pin from Paula to Agnus and the problem persists.

Sorry, I missed out the work "not".

I finally managed to get AGS to start using the instructions above, but as soon as I try to move around in the AGS menu, it returns back to the A600GS main menu. The same thing happens with the keyboard, a USB gamepad, and an Arcade R 9-pin joystick.

EDIT Actually, on the very first launch it seemed to work. I was able to move around in the menu and tried one game, and it worked normally. I shut AGS down, and a little later when I started it again, this issue began: moving in the menu sends it back to the GS startup screen.

Hello,
You could consider an AmigaOS 4 machine, with a real PowerPC hardware or emulated one. Ability to complete PDF forms and a modern web browser is missing, but otherwise it should fill your needs.

Hi everyone,

One day I hope to retire. When that happens, I'll no longer need space hogs like VMWare and Visual Studio, so I'd like to downsize my daily-driver from a fancy laptop to a fancy Amiga. Is that possible? I expect PiStorms to be much faster by then, too. And I'd rather stick with my A600, if possible.

I'll need:
  • 1 TB of data
  • Word Processing & Spreadsheets using OpenDocument format
  • Desk Top publishing for invitations and greeting cards
  • Browsing of modern websites.
  • MP3/FLAC
  • Streaming would be extra nice too.
  • Ability to complete PDF Forms
  • IMAP/SMTP client
  • Image editing, as close to GIMP, maybe ImageFX?
Is this possible now, or likely possible in the future?

The issue was fixed?? I restored my gaming TV to factory settings  ::), but interestingly, there was no sound on the other living room TV.

A600GS & A1200NG / A600gs black screen

Today when I powered on the device, I only got a black screen. The sound was playing, but there was no picture at all – not even the cursor. I removed the SD card and reinstalled the image that I had previously used successfully, but it didn’t help. The result is still a black screen with only audio playing.

I am using an LG 1080p TV. I moved the device to the living room and connected it to a newer LG QNED TV, and there I was able to get an image (I also updated the device at the same time), but on that TV there was no sound. I tried different HDMI ports on both TVs.

On the living room TV I tried changing resolutions and other display settings, but I still can’t get any picture on the main gaming TV. I also tried a different SD card. The power supply is the official Raspberry Pi power adapter.

EDIT I also tried using a different HDMI cable, but it didn’t help.
