The Game-Convention-Concert was great, and I met more of our little community then I expected.
Get some pictures here.
The only sad thing: like last year there will be no CD of the concert for sale. What a shame.

If you have problems or technical questions on T4f, have a look at the t2002-support board. But keep in mind T4f is a modified T2002, so it may have additional bugs.

Click here to read why and how to change it.
Turrican 1 Facts
Willi Bäcker, ex-member of Factor 5 solved a little mistery: the box to activate the elevator in Turrican 1 simply was part
of the copy-protection. If you had a copy, it just was not there, as well as some other Bonus rooms. This had the advantage that
the game was released as a cracked copy and all the fame-potential in the scene for the 1st release was gone - but you still couldn´t play it completely. And so, they had some more time to sell it.
Funny, Softgold / Rainbow Arts got phone-calls back then from people who said "I buyed you game but can´t leave Level 1 - give me back my money..."
But the tale of Factor 5 giving a version with this error to the cracking-scene is simply - a tale :)
New Shots!
Added many Turrican 3d and Turrican 1 C64 screenshots (and some infos). Get them here, as usual.

Windstille Win32-Exe available
Robert Konrad was so kind and compiled a Win32-executable of the Winstille Preview.
You can find it, as usual, at http://www.nongnu.org/windstille/.
You can´t do too much (run around, collect diamonds, laying mines), but it already feels fine and I really love the tileset.
Be sure to also check the extras to view a lot of cool concept art, and in the directory data\music there is a nice song (Ogg-Format, by Ralph Weinert, I guess).
New Hurrican Shots
At http://www.poke53280.de, there is a new shot of Hurrican, this time from the Spider-Factory.
And the site has a new design.
GGT
For all who didn´t already hear it: Ultrastorm is now working on the intro-pictures of the nearly finished GGT (Game Gear Turrican), so the release again got a bit nearer.
Which Turrican figure are you?
2 Souls mailed me a link to http://quizilla.com/, there you can find out which
Turrican-Figure fits you best.
| | | | | | |
31.01.04
Windstille Video available
For all who don´t have Linux installed, theres now a Video of Windstille available. It´s still long until finished, but already looks like it will become a good game.
Get it at http://www.nongnu.org/windstille/.
More Turrican for C64
You now can see some more remains of Protovisions cancelled Turrican-Clone. If you are interested, you should consider buying Hockey Mania from Protovision, they included all what was finished of their Turrican on the Disc.
Get the old, unoffical demo here.
IE/Zorks Game now has a title screen
And it´s looking cool! Get a view at http://www.Banq-it.cjb.net before he changes name and url once again ;)
And he wants to release a level at april 3rd (2004).
Turrican Handheld!
Have a look at http://www.gp32x.com/board/, there´s a thread on how to run C64-Turrican on the GP32x, a GBA-like handheld which is able to run
emulators (and more interesting stuff). More on this topic soon.

17.01.03
Smash Design are back!
Years ago there was a demo of Turrican 3 for C64, but after the team was hired by Similis, the project was stopped.
But now, as AEG of Smash Design announced, they want to finish it until April 04!
Beside the name is has nothing to do with Turrican 3, it´s a complete new game.
More infos and some (old) shots here.

Happy Christmas!
Well, happy Christmas to all you little Turricans out there ;)
Thanks to Pè?èØdèå?h for the gif!
Amiga Turrican (Symphonic Remix)
Markus Siebold, Creator of the Turrican 2 C64-Music, released a really great remix, get it at his homepage.
Turrican for PS2?
Well, no. But Michael Reilly made a picture of how the cover could look like ;)
To say it with his words:
"Anyway, this is my small tribute to the artist and to a classic game, that
gave me many hours of pleasure."
Another rip or just coincidence?!
As Martin Dostal found out, there´s a funny similarity between the music of Turrican 1´s flight-level and the game "Nodes of Yesod" (1986 by Odin Computer Graphics Ltd).
Get the sid and judge yourself. And tell me you opinion in the Shoutbox ;)
Turrican 2 and Toki
We all know that Turrican was inspired by many (arcade-)games, and Tic0_o and McMonac now discovered, that Turrican 2 has a feature from Toki. Toki is from 1989 and so older then Turrican 2.

A new Turrican by DEX!
Since he was tired of waiting, Dex is now working on a new Turrican on his own. Much graphics and music are already finished, and it look really interesting.
The most important thing for Dex is: the result should be close to how Turrican 4 could´ve been, and everything, including the Turrican sprite, is done completely new.
Get the shots!
New facts by Julian Eggebrecht
It once was once planned to beam Turrican star-trek like into the stages, but they were never happy with the results. The remains were used in Turrican 2. This was the particle implosion-system mentioned in the Turrican 1 Demo. Btw: the intro text was written by Julian.
Also, the makers should now be more correct, but still lacking some photos.
New Wallpaper
There was a nice cover showing Turrican on Juli 91 issue of Crash Spectrum magazine, done by Oliver Frey. Since I sadly didn´t manage to get the original without text anywhere, I now recycled what I had got into a nice wallpaper.
New music
Thanks to Stefan "biguser" Gutsch, I´ve added a new mod to the music menu, named "mind traveller". A bit big, but worth the waiting ;).
back!
For all who wondered why I didn´t answer emails or posts: I was offline quite a while, because I moved to a new home.

cool new Wallpaper by nexus6
Nexus6 has just sent me a pretty cool Wallpaper, get it - as always - at the bonusfiles.

Dexter wrote some nice Tips and made some pictures on how to play Turrican mobile on a PDA.
Get the guide here.
Mega Turrican screenshots
After sleeping on my Harddisk for a month, I´ve now put 68 nice shots of Mega Turrican online, as well as shots of package and cartridge.

13.09.03
T2002 Levels
I just made a new section at the bonusfiles, if you have any selfmade levels or tutorials for T2002 submit them (best as zip) and I´ll collect them there.

Make your own Turrican!
Finally it´s possible: everybody can create his own Turrican-Levels, even with his own graphics!
Pekaro now have released their level-editor for T2002, and even included a new level with new graphics.
It looks quite intuitive, so I hope, we´ll see some cool levels or conversions soon.
Thanks, Pekaro!

Turrican @ GC 2003
At the Games-Convention you have the chance to meet some of the people of our little community like Robert (webmaster of Turrican Forever) and Martin Konrad (Developer of GGT), Eiswuxe and the Pokes (Developers of Hurrican), Pekaro Team (T2002), Aky, McMonac and me.
You´ll have the chance to see T2002 on the GBA and, if we are lucky, Hurrican riding on a Flugsack. And maybe some famous people like Chris Huelsbeck are there? Who knows :)
For further and last-minute-infos visit the board.
Retro-Magazin
In the next issue of the Retro-Magazin, a little german print-mag, there´ll be an article about Turrican.
Beside the usual review, there´ll be a story involving Manfred Trenz.
It will be released 25.09.2003 and can only be ordered online. Get a cover Preview here.

Windstille Update!
The Windstille-Page had some updates, you now can view the main sprite in many poses, some pseudo gamescreens made with the gimp and a real ingame shot.
By looking at the sprite movents, you´ll see, that Windstille won´t be a pure Turrican clone: the main charakter will move more like the one in Flashback or another World, e.g. be able to climb.
And I fear, we´ll have to wait some more years for the release.

Bang!
What do Duke Nukem, Transformers (the Movie) and Turrican have in common?
A scandal :)
We already knew that in Duke Nukem 1 & 2 graphics of Turrican were used, but since many Duke fans at http://forums.3drealms.com/ didn´t see the evidence, I and Martin Konrad made some more shots to proove it. Also fun is, they also stole gfx from Megaman 1 (PC) and Savage (Amiga).
But now the big bang:
Much of the Turrican 1 C64 Soundtrack is stolen from Transformers the Movie (released 1986)!
Compare yourself, listen to e.g. the song "Escape" found at http://www.angelfire.com/ca5/Prowl/sounds.html and compare it to Subsong 2 of the C64 Turrican Soundtrack.
The C64 Soundtrack was done by Ramiro Vaca, not Chris Huelsbeck. But regarding to some other pages, they worked together on it.
Thanks to IE (also known as Zork) who investigated this!

There was life before Turrican!
By accident I found a 3 Level-Demo of Turrican 1 on Disk 653 of the 17 Bit PD Collection, and beside three stages it features an interesting text and some nice bugs (waterfalls stop flowing...).
Rainbow Arts proudly presents:
The first demo-version of TURRICAN, Rainbow Arts newest title and the
hottest action-game ever!
...
Other things the final game will feature that are not in the demo:
* Character-Animation (falling waterfalls, moving spikes and traps, etc.)
* Fabulous intro
* Even more sound
* Particle-implosion-system for the main sprite
(don´t ask us, just wait for the final game...)
...
So, what may be a Particle-implosion-system? Who knows.
Get it, as usual, at the bonusfiles.
Gameboy Turrican Cover by Julie Bell! (updated!)
I never noticed before, but the Gameboy Turrican-Cover was done by the famous Artist Julie Bell!
Proof: see her name on the bottom left of the picture.
Well, that makes it even more sad that it looks quite ugly ;). Added to the facts.
Funny: there´s another picture, which has an autograph of Boris Valleyo on it - which is her husband.
Technical Turrican 2 Level details
Martin Konrad found some interesting details on how the Turrican 2 Levels are built, more infos at the facts.

There are plenty of portable Turricans available! (updated)
On the PC-Engine, also known as TurboGfx 16 - there is Turrican 1 available, nearly in Amiga-quality. And there is a portable version of this console,
the TurboExpress, which uses the same game-cards.
Sadly it´s not so easy to get one in germany, since this system was most popular in Japan.
If anybody has too much money, or wants some information on this, have a look at http://www.lik-sang.com/, they still sell it.
For even more infos visit http://pcenginefx.com/TS/.
Also rare (and so expensive) in Germany is the Sega Nomad, which is a portable Version of the Sega Megadrive and functions with normal Megadrive-Cartridges.
Beside the rather disappointing Turrican for Gameboy, there now is the possibility to play the NES-SuperTurrican via Emulator on the GameboyAdvance, but I guess it´s hard to get a cartridge for this.
