Super Turrican is the fifth video game in the Turrican series, released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1993.[1] Super Turrican was also released on the Virtual Console in Europe and Australia on February 29, 2008, and in North America on March 3, 2008.

Gameplay[]

Super Turrican was developed by Factor 5 and published by Seika. It plays similarly to Mega Turrican (also developed by Factor 5) and shares a similar visual style. The game has a different set of levels, however, and features a freeze beam in place of the original lightning whip. The game only features 4 worlds and ends with the H. R. Giger-inspired alien boss, despite a representation of 'The Machine', similar to that featured in Mega Turrican, appearing in the prologue.

Super Turrican: Director's Cut[]

A previously unreleased uncut version of the game, titled Super Turrican: Director's Cut, was included with the Analogue Super Nt console.[2] Previously, this uncut version was considered for release on the Wii's Virtual Console, but was rejected by Nintendo due to not being previously released on consoles.[3]

Reception[]

Super Gamer gave the SNES version an overall review score of 89% summarizing: "You’ve got masses of firepower, but while enemies are numerous, there aren’t as many mega-monsters as there could be."[18] Retro Sanctuary ranked Super Turrican 56th on their Top 100 Best SNES Games writing "Super Turrican was a fantastic success of commendable quality."[19]
