Before straddling a winged lizard and
doing a nosedive, developer Factor 5 was the source of one of our favorite pastimes: the unrelenting obliteration of aliens, robots and the occasional Sasquatch. Our memory's a bit hazy when it comes to
Super Turrican 2, so there may well have been a robotic alien Sasquatch in there somewhere.
- Super Turrican 2 (SNES, 1 player, 800 Wii Points): Factor 5's destructive bullet dispensor arrives on the Virtual Console this week, challenging players to foil "the menacing hordes of ... The Machine," who may or may not be Galactus. Check out some videos after the break and become hypnotized by that spinning "2" in "Super Turrican 2." It's like, three dee and stuff!

That commando looks downright... bionic.

Turrican is that some kinda slur for a Puerto Rican tourist?
Shagittarius @ Sep 29th 2008 12:41PM
I know its a half Turkish half Puerto Rican baby.

I remember waiting forever for this game to come out--then I forgot about it and thought it never had come out? but after watching the video am glad I didn't get this game--it looks really easy. I'll pass on this one...

Ocean games = Pure Turds

Ocean was only the publisher, Factor 5 was the developer. The game was actually pretty fun.
EMaster @ Sep 29th 2008 6:24PM
I cold-heartedly disagree. Every game Ocean has made has been nothing but a POS. Everything from Lethal Weapon to Robocop 3 to The Addams Family and of course to Cool World. I hav the teeth marks in my SNES controler to prove it. Lethal Weapon 3 I whipped against the wall. Ocean games have been some of the most frustrating games ever made. If this is supposedly an exception I will have to check it for myself but I am not hopeful. Trust me. Ocean and I never got along.

Looked pretty cool until the part with the giant turd dragon platforms. Gross.

Anyone have a recommendation for a choice between Super Turrican/Super Turrican 2/Alien Soldier?

Now is the time for the setting of the 78000 Heart on Fire

Nice, I play this game via emulator all the time. It's solid.
