Lemon Amiga

Personal review

Outstanding "Run and Gun" type game with quite a bit of exploring. The Amiga version has the same good playability as the original C64 version. And with better graphics and a brilliant soundtrack nothing could go wrong with this game. In my opinion Turrican (together with its even better sequel) represents the pinnacle of Amiga gaming at a time when the Amiga was at its height of popularity.
