Total Recall DUD OF THE MONTH COLLECTION!
TURRICAN

(Accolade, 1991)
This rare Turbo game is a very difficult but solid action packed shooter/platformer with a fully loaded main character with tons of power ups. Your hero can use a electric beam, machine gun, and can even go into a samus-like ball but in a game this hard you're going to need everything you got. Sadly where the game falls apart is the controls and very confusing when you want to use the different techniques like the screen clearing bombs are difficult to select on the fly. This Turrican also has the least impressive graphics and sounds of this long running series plus if that wasn't all bad enough it can be hard to tell when you taken a hit too making your hero super weak. Turrican is a legendary series but this is easily one of the lamest of the bunch.




Conclusion:  
TURRICAN
overall rating: 55/100
