Now this I like. A game where you get to dress up in some armour and wobble about on another planet, shooting thousands of nasties. Great stuff.

Turrican II is, at its simplest level, a platform shoot-'em-up. But wait 'til you see it! Tons of sprites, buckets of colour and loads of incredibly illegal weaponry make it a classic game. Truly a diamond among small bits of broken glass.

Plot? It doesn't matter. You just go as far s you can, jumping on platforms, climbing hills and firing at the bus-loads of unpleasantness that come your way. Cool or what?

So it's dead smooth, fast, big and has that addictedness that makes you want to use up loads of expensive electricity, playing well into the night. So do as I did. Sell your bed to raise the dosh for this one.

Good enough to cover in whipped cream and eat as a weird sort of plastic puff-pastry, licking your lips with delight as you do so. Yummy.
