16-bit home computer retro games are welcome on the PlayStation 4, especially as there has not been an abundance of Commodore Amiga games available, with a few exceptions being versions of Another World,
GODS Remastered, and Shadow of the Beast. Therefore, it s particularly pleasing to have the first two classic Amiga Turrican titles presented in their original 16-bit sprite splendidness in the Turrican Flashback Collection s four game pack.
The four European-style run-and-gun games included in Turrican Flashback are early examples of Factor 5 s games developed in Germany, so alongside the two aforementioned Amiga titles are two games released on 16-bit consoles with the 1993 release of Super Turrican on the SNES, and the 1994 Mega Drive/Genesis game, Mega Turrican. While these console games have previously been available on the Wii s Virtual Console, the first two Amiga Turrican games have not been ported to modern consoles before.

Last year brought welcome news of a comeback of a beloved name in gaming, and in tandem with that news the revelation, to me at least, that another famous name in video games wasn t perhaps as dormant as I d thought. With the release of Turrican Flashback later this month - a collection of the much-loved run-and-gunner series highlights - we re not only seeing the return of the Turrican name, but also of developer Factor 5, the famed outfit behind the Rogue Squadron games and countless other fascinating projects that sadly shut down in the tumultuous wake of Lair s release.
