- 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!
Super Turrican 2 assaults the Virtual Console
14
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.

Turrican is that some kinda slur for a Puerto Rican tourist?

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.

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