Super Turrican 2

About

Super Turrican 2 throws you into a nonstop barrage of laser fire and mutant screeches. You play as a space merc with a plasma gun and a death wish wading through hordes of squishy foes and nightmarish bosses. The levels scroll fast with Mode7 flourishes that blur the line between chaos and genius. Precision shooting and split-second reflexes are your only hope as you bounce between platforms and dodge explosions. This sequel raised the bar for 16-bit carnage with boss fights that still rank among the format’s most brutal. Community guides often warn that level four’s tentacle monster will test your patience as much as your aim. With its relentless pace and pixel-perfect hit detection it’s no wonder retro players still cite this as one of the toughest shooters ever made. Burned to death is the only way out.
