Turrican Flashback Review Turrican! Turrican! Does whatever a Turri-can. Okay, no doubt that line doesn’t play out as well as the original arachnid based one does. But it does give a glimpse into my headspace when I first played this game back in the 1990s on my uncle’s Amiga PC. Turrican, a biomechanical warrior was not only created for battle but built to bioengineer inhospitable planets into living ones. So with his unique nature, powers, and cool silvery robot appearance, Turrican became a new superhero to me. The general storyline for the Turrican games sees the player sent to colonized worlds that have become corrupted by an evil force. It is up to Turrican to set things right, collecting goodies and destroying all baddies in the process.
