Blast the baddies in this space adventure

Turrican was a cult classic on the C64 and Amiga back in the day and now the program returns on the PC in this faithful recreation. The object is to navigate a space soldier through nine challenging levels, blowing away all manner of aggressive robots, attacking plants and avoiding dangerous traps along the way.

The game plays very well, allowing you to shoot updwards as well as horizontally. Anyone who’s a fan of the original like me will be pleased with this recreation as the graphics and sound are very true to the Commadore classic, although there aren’t that many new additions to enjoy.

Hurrican is a freeware jump and shoot game created by Poke53280 that is based on the Turrican game series. Blast your way through nine action-packed levels filled with different enemies and powerups.
