Holy ****, I finally beat Turrican 2

[runequester]

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

Congrats. Now you start with Turrican 3 :laughing:

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.

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.

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

[runequester]

Haven`t beaten it myself yet! I just started playing a couple of weeks ago afer a 15 year lapse!!

its such an amazing game. But it'll kick you in the teeth

[runequester]

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

never had a two button joystick on the Amiga. Any recommendations?

a sega controller

THe wico joysticks were two button as well like this one
