Turrican (128K)

[OneVision]

I noticed that on the CPC version, we cannot throw an energy line while being in "sawblade" mode.
Still, I tend to remember that was possible on Amiga. Can anyone confirm this please?
Looking over the code, it appears the programmer did it on purpose. But removing the blocking instructions doesn't seem to cause any trouble.

Yes I confirm that it's not possible on CPC and possible on Amiga.

Last contribution for gfx rework, the little logo on the main menu.



I also reworked walkers but unfortunately, we can't replace them easily in the code.

Old Walker


New Walker

Very nice, do you plan to change other enemies sprites ?

Unfortunately it's not as easy as it seems as said to me JMB. 
But there are a lot of sprites which are already good in the game and do not need to be redone IMHO.

When/where can we download this with the new HUD and logo?

Great work everyone!!

Here is version 2 with some improved graphics thanks to @OneVision. Rejoice!
RUN"TURRICAN" to use the regular controls.
RUN"FIRE1" to use the Space Bar instead of the Return key.
RUN"FIRE2" to use a Joystick with 2 buttons. Press both buttons to launch a grenade.
RUN"FIRE3" if you're the lucky owner of a Joystick with 3 buttons!
Or RUN"CHEAT" to display a small menu allowing you to choose your controls, and turn on the Trainer mode optionally.
ULIFAC users will have to create a Turrican folder on their MicroSD card, and drop the Turrican Files in it.
M4 users should do the same, but it appears to be problematic. If you're a M4 owner and manage to run the game successfully, we are eager to share your knowledge!

And here is my Excel working file if you're bored 🥱

THANK YOU!! Fantastic work!

And I should add, as an additional control on FIRE2 ... the Gyroscope is now Down + 'Fire button 2'
Took me a little working out!

Do you think this is now the 'final' version? In terms of graphics/art/music etc? Apart from minor changes to get it working on various devices / bug fixes?

Cheers!

Yes, this will be the final version, I'm fed up with Turrican!

Cool! We'll play it as the main game/feature on the Amstream (live stream) this evening then on my YouTube!
