Mega Turrican

Also known as Turrican 3, this particular entry in the free-form platformer-shooter franchise was initially developed for the Sega Genesis.

Overview

Mega Turrican is a platformer/shooter or "run-and-gun" game in which series protagonist Bren McGuire once again takes on his old nemesis, The Machine. It is the third game in the Turrican franchise, and was called Turrican 3: Payment Day for its Commodore Amiga conversion.

The game was built specifically for the Sega Genesis, but its Amiga conversion was actually released first as the Genesis version lacked a publisher for over a year. Eventually, Data East would take the reins and release the game internationally on Sega's 16-bit console.
