Holy ****, I finally beat Turrican 2

[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

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?

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.

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

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 :-/

Why you gotta bring a brother down like that?

Even my girlfriend has ascended... twice!
