"Ah, Turrican. Certainly not the best version of the game here (woo, Amiga), but it doesn't quite matter as long as the gameplay is intact. And it indeed is. The levels are still large, you're still shooting things... what more could one want? I can't quite give this a 10 due to the utter lack of H?lsbeck's music, but as I said, still pretty fun."

"Bloody brilliant game! Superb graphics and a great game to play. One of my favourite games on the Amstrad. Who can forget that huge fist near the beginning as a boss?!"

Lockett says

"Meh. It's hardly the "best 8-bit version" - that honor goes to the original, on the C64. This version has too-large sprites, bad collision detection, and EXTREMELY unresponsive controls. The CPC's ultra-bright palette doesn't do it any favors, either. If anything, it's the WORST 8-bit version. This game is best played on the C64 - no port can hold a candle to it."

"It doesn't get much better than this, Best 8-bit version. Looks far better than the C64 version, which features weak looking sprites and an uninspiring colour palette... don't get me wrong, its not a smooth as the C64 version and the animation and music isn't as good, but the Amstrad version still features good 8-way directional scrolling with a well thought out colour palette and quick responsive controls. The C64 version is too easy in my opinion, something C64 owners of course will never admit too."

Hiro says

"Overshadowed by it`s superior sequel though not by much as this too is a superb piece of work. Any CPC gamer who likes some good shooting and platformer has to have both Turrican games."

"Fantastic! Everything is great about this game... Play it NOW!"

badstreet74 says

"Perhaps one of the best games to come out on the amstrad and other machines at the time.Pure class."

Gryzor says

"A game that pushed all the consoles to new limits, it plays just as brilliant as it looks. Amazing stuff, and only to be superceded by TII"
