- Tool-free playthrough ended with 57 lives and 509 diamonds, no autofire. Collected all extra lives not including one in Metal Stars level which can only be collected by correctly executed special attack move as demonstated by ScHlAuChi for Amiga version. It's actually easy to get, I just messed it up in this play. I could improve on most of the levels, but it's really boring to replay early levels while trying to make a perfect run.
PC DOS version was released in 1995, four years after the orignal. Graphics were modified a lot, but level design and music are mostly faithful. Gameplay is slightly different when compared with the Amiga version, for example (in addition to more difficult Powerslide level) some traditional boss tactics don't work. I don't like new boss designs much and Turrican looks more like a toy solder than a bionic death machine, but level graphics look nice imo. For example it's easier to spot secret rooms in The Wall and Walker Factory levels. Turrican 1 and 3 were not released for PC.
Unfortunately I couldn't get SB16 emulation working with this game so sampling rate is not as good as it could be :-(

That's serious coding skills. It is either modex or any other irregular VGA resolution with absolute control of the vga routines AND performant enough to run .mod music in the background. Amazing.
the very obvious irregular resolution is the reason why the intro looks deformed btw
2021- And still far ahead of its time. The Turrican universe needs a mega comeback.
Dude, this version of Turrican II looks beautiful!
I do love most of the graphical changes of the Dos version especially the Eyeballs with finger legs being redesigned into xenomorphs and Scar Face's new skull look. The ending animation looks amazing as well, kind of a shame this version isn't available in the Turrican Anthology release. God like run btw.
Godlike, I never played the PC version but grew up with Turrican I&II on my Amiga
The PC version was awesome! In my humble opinion, better than the Amiga version! ;)
@@pauloteixeira8269 5 years later and with a cpu 10-20 times more powerfull cpu. Try on a 8086 with CGA. ;)
@@Elbas_Tardo yeah, but you have to keep in mind that by the late 80s, there were PCs that easily outperformed even the best of Amigas, albeit at a massive cost. You guys need to realize that here in the USA, the IBM compatible did relatively well in the higher end of the gaming spectrum, and by the early 90s, the PC had mostly cought up with the Amiga in terms of gaming prowess. And as you can see, most DOS games from the mid 90s looked like HD remakes in comparison. As this point, proprietary platforms like the Amiga were beginning to lose the gaming race with the PCs and 16-bit consoles. DOOM, and to a lesser extent, Wolfenstein 3D, really showed what the PC could do, and Windows 95 changed the PC landscape, as well as establish the PC as the truly dominant platform for nearly all things. I'm sorry, but that's just the sad truth.
@@Elbas_Tardo CGA and the 8086 were never meant for gaming though. Just be a good little Amiga drone and take the L.
@@pauloteixeira8269 the caracter look ugly on the pc big head Amiga version caracter look much better
Turrican itself looks ...different but the whole game is awesome , the graphics, the music, the pace of the game, this is truly a keeper
I love how they updated graphics, changed gameplay... but the files for the music are the exact same files on the Amiga game. They just wrote a TFMX player for the Soundblaster and called it a day.
Because, well, who would want to fuck up with a perfect soundtrack like this?
The DOS version is the best and most impressive port of the Amiga original. The one on the Amiga will always be my favorite but If they hadn't taken certain artistic liberties on the PC, there is a good chance the DOS version would have been the best version of the game on any system.
Dude, that is the fastest I've ever seen anyone play through Turrican 2 😳👌
OMG the graphics look so nice! I played this on Amiga 500, and this looks like it would be fun to play on DOS as well!!
around 22 minutes I get serious flashbacks.. I thought the leaves blowing upwards showing that you could use the wind was SO damn cool when I was a kid :D
Damn it looks better than Amiga version I loved so much. I didn’t even know T2 was made for pc.
I originally thought that too at first (except main player sprite, looks butt ugly on PC version) but after closer inspection there's many details missing in the PC version.
The extra colours are nice but only for the first levels, after that it gets a bit drab looking, the shoot 'em up levels look horrid imo. There's missing background effects, scrollings and some parallax here and there throughout the game.
There's an Amiga 1200 version in the works now that's using the graphics from this PC version plus you can choose to use the Amiga player sprite, I hope they fix all the missing details too, it should become the definitive version.
I like they way they updated the Graphics but kept the music exactly the same as the Amiga version. A nice piece of respect there.
Not the same, I can hear differences through the headphones. But i am biased coming from the Amiga.
@@ChannelReuploads9451 I also think there’s slight differences. But even so, they’re really miniscule.
@@ChannelReuploads9451 I am almost sure they used the very same files from the Amiga version. I remember checking the files for this game a long time ago or something, and the music files are the same as the ones you would find in the Amiga version.
From what I got, the programmers just wrote a TFMX player for the Soundblaster. If there's any difference, it's probably because how the music plays, not with the music itself.
@@rafaellima83I think you're right that those music files are basically the same, but.
I does sound like the PC/DOS release has better stereo panning going on. (Supposedly, this is because the amiga version of this game does use the TFMX sound driver that allows for 8 channels instead of the regular 4. But because the paula chip can only do 2 channels on the left and the remaining 2 on the right, that causes most of the panning to be on the left. The PC/DOS port is mostly unaffected by it, cause panning can be done individually. And with a Gravis Ultrasound, it's all done on the Sound cards internal RAM and hardware mixer.)
Such good pc conversion of amiga game is total rarity. Better graphics, the same smooth scrolling, the same music... perfect.

Turrican II: The Final Fight for Amiga AGA. The Amiga AGA version has an improved parallax background.
Seems like the Dos version is very nice too although I like the Amiga version more. Excellent playing, respect!!
The best Turrican game ever!
Manfred makes such a great game!
img this was incredible... ( only played turrican1-2's c64 versions with infinite lives cheats ). congrats!
Years later compared to the original Amiga-version looks kinda weird but still interesting.
Even when i am 90 yrs old..i will STILL remember this game, and the AWSOME music in it!!!
Actually Turrican 3 was to receive a port for Ms Dos and Acorn Arcimedes, however this didn't get through and the only remaining references to the port is 2nd level of the 3rd world in Turrican 2, 2 trailers for Turrican 3 and the only existing sprites for an enemy, a carrier and the bosses.
My god, that intro graphics! I want to gouge my eyes! The rest is ok
Yeah it is a little bit "All your base" for my taste, but the game is so great and we never took any notice of the story anyway did we!
@@goodlookinouthomie1757 I mean the Amiga intro graphics weren't exactly great, but the PC version deforms them to a whole new level of unintentional body horror. D=
30:25 Me driving to work after oversleeping.
FALSE! THERE IS NO ANOTHER 1 UP IN YOUR LIFE.
Beautiful port! By the way: Pressing on the title screen opens the "secret" music player (like in the Amiga version). Strangely enough, in my version (and in DosBox) only worlds 1 and 2 work...
I have no idea how to set this up for DOSBox 0.74 or D-Fend Reloaded. I have most of the correct files, but when I start it up in D-Fend, I get corrupted game text.
I downloaded the copy off of Abandonia.
I had a version on this for the Atari. I remember it as one of the better games for the console. (Super Cars 2 also high in the list.) Chris Huelsbeck who did the music did a very good job. The atari version does not have the narator voice, I find it does not improve the game.
The levels design also was really good. I quite liked this game. The mini subgame of not picking up the wrong weapons and well as all the extra life and secrets was good. I never understod the sawblade mecanic. It is good. But it mostly feels like a Metroyd copy.
All in all 10/10.
PS: This runner has so many secrets I never did find.
I am a little bit impressed. Turrican 2 looks & and sounds not so awful, as most games from this time, if you compare it with the Amiga Version.
You play as Bren McGuire. You have a high tech Turrican Assault Suit and your helmet is a... toaster. A sideways mounted toaster.
I got this for my PC right when it came out. Unfortunately that was 3-4 years after the Turrican (Amiga) hype, so the press really didn't give a fuck anymore. They should have, tough, as it's a little 2D gem on the PC. But back then, 3D games were what everyone was focusing.
Somwhow i've got that strange feelings this is not the first time when you were playing this game...😀👍
Who ever made this must really hate eyeballs.
wow all these secrets i never knew about, amazing, i still prefer the amiga graphics though lol
Here's a mini tip: I found on my version when you enter a hi-score name the keys Y and Z are reversed! As per a Swiss keyboard layout for example.
Boss scrolling background effect is missing in space stage
That scrolling effect on the Amiga is incredible.
I like Turrican 2 as a game, but to me, it's more like an album. The music comes first, and the rest is incidental.
Such a cool version of the game. I wish the Turrican armor didn't look so dorky but overall it's one of the best ports though the Amiga version is of course the most iconic and best.
Nice PC version indeed. Definitely as good as could have been an updated A1200 version. It's amazing to think that the Amiga hardware that run this game was the same released in the 1986 and designed through 1983-1985.
The A1200 version has finally been released. :)
Pretty impressive how you play that game.... 😲
Hmm 1995 I think I had a Pentium 120 PC then, probably with a Gravis if there was no onboard sound, can't remember.
Very good version of the game. I wonder if they used VGA X mode?
The last stage theme reminds me of the AVGN theme.
What sound card is being emulated? I imagine a GUS?
Unfortunately not. I could only get SB pro emulation working with this game so the sound is not super crisp.
Why did they make poor Turrican fat for the PC?
29:49 Theme of "The Machine", as it appears later in Super Turrican's intro.
They used it twice.
Perfect!
52:35 scooter - level one
amazing. never saw this version. Graphics are very nice.
Is the music same as the amigas?
Yes, Amiga MODs were used for the PC version also.
I was surprised to hear the instruments still hard panned left and right like on the Amiga. Surely it would have been a quick fix to remix into real stereo when porting to the PC?
Fond memories.
I'm actually a bit shocked here, never knew this was on the PC-DOS, and how comes the audio / music sound identical to the Amiga?
Most commercial PC games at the time used MIDI for music, but soundblaster cards, unlike older adlib cards, are also capable of playing sampled music in addition to MIDI. They just used the original music tracks and sfx from the Amiga version.
The soundblaster is more than able to produce the same music as Amiga.
Modern players like AIMP can even play original Amiga .mod files.
@@neumi569 yep they Just used the original "Mod" Files. It just wasnt a thing on the PC since most games used Midi. as far as i know PC Games Like crusader No remorse and No regret also used Mod files on PC dos. But it was little used on the PC. Also times changed in the later 90s and they used full digital Soundtracks as memory was getting cheaper. But the Soundblaster had no Problems at all to Play music Like this, a shame they didnt used it more....
PC version Digital Illusions Pinball Dream uses MOD-based music including on PC speaker. By the time of 486 with VL-Bus SVGA and basic SoundBlaster 16, the PC can brute force it.
486DX33 with VL-Bus SVGA (33Mhz 32 bit bus yields 133 MB/s) and SoundBlaster 16 beats A4000/030, A3000/030, A1200, A500.
serious coding skills.
Nice Grafik but turrican self looks better on amiga...
The bosses are a bit harder to beat on the Amiga version.
Best soundtrack ever !!!!!!!
Grafiks so much better on Amiga 500!!!!!!! Best Game ever from my Childhood!!!
PC DOS's Turrican II: The Final Fight VGA was ported to Amiga AGA. The Amiga AGA version has improved parallax backgrounds.
I think now, this game (both on Amiga or other systems) had a serious problem (and that's why I could never enjoy them). The threshold line where the player makes the screen start scrolling is over half the center and at the side of the direction of movement. This means, if you move to the right, the player will fixate closer to the right border, thus following onto enemies before you have the chance to see them and avoid them. It makes me fall into enemies or projectiles too frequently, without having the time to avoid them, also dreading to move towards any direction.
Optimus6128 agreed. Hate this overlook in design. It makes it to where you have to memorize stages to have any fun. You can’t react to the environment naturally, you have to already know what’s ahead.
This is true and jumping was annoying. But there’s easy thing to get in levels and it’s simply to move bit by bit forwards, including jumping. That way you’ll get less enemies towards you. Also using that wheel mode makes you invincible,which is crucial. If you look closely this small movement is used even in this run.
Wow nice , a notch up from the Amiga version .
Jesus christ, they changed the Anime art from the original intro into some horrifying 90s comic book excess...
AMIGA RULES!
Is samus in the suit?
No, it's Bren McGuire.
Can’t believe a dos version is so smooth compared to the Amiga. Didn’t think that was possible without DirectX etc
Game of my childhood, this version looks and sounds good but doesn’t seem as polished as the Amiga version and that first boss looks ridiculous on this version lol
He looks cool though, but it's a human, the only time Bren actually fights a human, possibly the machine counts as he is mentioned as a half man half machine
i need to find Delphi CD
Runs really well, but why is the artstyle so different from the Amiga version? The music is the same. Interestingly enough they didn't change the environment art for the last world, which nowadays would be asking for a copyright lawsuit.
I guess they were looking for an excuse to re-release the game so late for the PC and din't have anyone qualified enough to remake C.H. tracks.
Higher resolution
i think they just took the Amiga AGA version and changed some colors around on some stuff.
I prefer the player suit design in the original version of Turrican 2 better, not the AGA version of the player suit.
Amiga AGA version is based on this one. It was just recently released.
This your first time playing this?
I've played the Amiga version a lot. This one I completed few times before recording, but it's very similar to Amiga.
Here is what happens when you give better tools to worse designers. Technically, the PC is more powerful than Amiga, you can see here better colors and pixels definition is better too... BUT who the heck is that designer ? Those characters in the intro are horrible compared to the original ones. boss and sprites designs are much worse than original designs, including Turrican's helmet in the game.
I know this is an old post of yours but a version for the Amiga 1200 was just released which is this very version in 256 colours with enhancements over this and with an option to use the original Amiga version Turrican sprite.
So it's actually better than this now 👍
This was 4 years after the Amiga version.
I wait the remake
Have you heard about this one?
czcams.com/video/kPIDuwUxDxo/video.html
Did anyone here actually play the pc version? All comments are from Amiga owners...
Not sure, but I believe this got only a minor release in Germany and I doubt it sold very well. It came out way too late.
@@einokeino303 I owned it and completed it on Amiga and I also played the PC version when it came out, I must say I couldn't belive what I was playing... to me it was way better than the Amiga version and also one of the very few games that achieved that.
I did. I got it as a full version from the magazine PC Games. I didn't know about Amiga at that time only the PC that my father had. I was hooked from that point on. As a child the game was fascinating, but too hard, so I had to come back years later to finish the game to see the end. Now that there are longplays on youtube seeing the ending of a game became way too easy, but that is probably something that won't change anymore.
I played this on the PC when it came out. When my Amiga loving brother saw me playing it, he threw his Amiga in the dustbin and got himself a PC.
I prefer this game on the amiga and c64
It's a nice version for the PC but the Amiga version is still the best. I prefer the Amiga graphics. The sound effects in the Amiga version were less often missed, as there were Paula and the four digital channels in the hardware. Watching this, I realized the gameplay is too easy with the unlimited wheel use. I think in the predecessor was limited.
Wie die Leute wohl geguckt haben müssen, die Turrican 2 zum ersten Mal spielten, und plötzlich verwandelt sich das Männchen in ein Raumschiff, und das Spiel sieht plötzlich aus wie R-Type oder Katakis.
Sun engine.
Holy crap the character art in the intro is ugly. o.o; I mean the Amiga art was pretty jank to begin with but this is a whole new level of grotesque misshapen people. =o
But yeah, 1993-1995 were the years that showed that sheer CPU power could do good 2D games. It's sad that C= thought that 68EC020/14 was sufficient for a base model.
Absolutely, the character is really awful.
About the 68020, when you think that this CPU has been released 10 years before the AGA machines (1984), it was already at the end of its life. And the chipset was only a small upgrade of the OCS developped in 1984 as well.
This was typical Commodore, having great engineers and technical ideas, but terrible management making cheap horrible choices. What a pity.
@@HarikenRed1 ideal A1200 specs:
68030 @ 25mhz
AAA chipset
There you go, Commodore, exactly what you needed in those tough times.
...Too bad your executives were too shitty to even care.
@@camulodunon Exactly, those specs would have been a right compromise!
But nooo, Commodore preferred to release a half baked thing.
I can remember when I sold my A2000 to buy an A1200, excited to think that I will have a Workbench mith more than 4 colors in HiRes. And the reality came at the first power up, I cringed as it was so slow with only 16 colors.
I loved my A2000, I never liked my A1200 😔
not bad, but i prefer the amiga version... less colours but better sprites.
Is it just me, or I am the only one who can't see the fun or reason making a AGA version of PC Turrican II 33 years after it's been released? -Be more creative and create new games instead.
And I have to say the Turrican sprite looks awful here. And some tunes weren't fully converted, e. g. "Traps".
Ist nicht Amiga 500 dann ist es nicht gut.
A classic / typical Amiga user comment
yuck. Stick to the Amiga version.
PC ist scheisse.. hab heute noch einen Amiga 500 für meine Korrespontenz!
Für deine was? 😂🙈
Totally disrepectful version, music and intro wise.
Levels are the same but graphics are completely new. Very impressive port. Or remake and Chris Hülsbeck's music needs no work on it. It is perfect.
