Turrican II: The Final Fight

Single segment recording (tools not supported by DOSBox 0.74) ended with 57 lives and 509 diamonds, no autofire. Collected all extra lives not including one in Metal Stars level which can only be collected by correctly executed special attack move as demonstated by ScHlAuChi for Amiga version. It's actually easy to get, I just messed it up in this play. I could improve on most of the levels, but it's really boring to replay early levels while trying to make a perfect run.

PC DOS version was released in 1995, four years after the orignal. Graphics were modified a lot, but level design and music are mostly faithful. Gameplay is slightly different when compared with the Amiga version, for example (in addition to more difficult Powerslide level) some traditional boss tactics don't work. I don't like new boss designs much and Turrican looks more like a toy solder than a bionic death machine, but level graphics look nice imo. For example it's easier to spot secret rooms in The Wall and Walker Factory levels. Turrican 1 and 3 were not released for PC.

Those who download the video with full frames will notice slight jerks in scrolling. This was already present in the game and not caused by recording process. The number of cycles fed into the emulator don't have any effect in this. Unfortunately I couldn't get SB16 emulation working with this game so sampling rate is not as good as it could be :-(
