Turrican 2 AGA (2022/2023) --------------------- v1.18 --------------------- Website: https://sonicslothgames.itch.io/turrican2aga Forum: https://sonicslothgames.itch.io/turrican2aga/community Email: alastair@sonicsloth.com --------------------- This is an unofficial remake of the MS-DOS version of Turrican 2 for the Amiga. Not associated with Factor 5 in any way. Not to be sold. For AGA Amigas with Fast RAM. Floppy version: 2MB Fast RAM. WHDLoad version: 8MB recommended, may run with 4 MB of Fast RAM. Amiga Dos / HDF version: 4MB of Fast RAM. CD32 version: 4MB of Fast RAM. Controls -------- Visit the controls menu for a variety of control options, and more information. If you have a two-button joystick, you can configure the second button to do various things. If you have a CD32 compatible joypad, you can use the default joypad controls, or user-define the controls. F10 will quit the game if running from WHDLoad. An added option in this remake of the game is that you can hold Duck/Down for a short time when not shooting to view the map down and in front of you. This is useful in cases where there are blind drops. Gameplay/Difficulty Modes ---------------- The original only had one mode, but I have added: -Easy: Start with 5 lives instead of 3, and enemies/bosses require fewer shots to kill. -Hard: Enemies/bosses require more shots to kill. -Challenge: Normal difficulty but you get only 3 lives, and there are no extra lives to be collected. -Speed run: Complete the game as fast as possible. The score is replaced with a timer. -New Game+: Complete the game, and it will restart, with all your lives intact, but each round gets harder. Play until you die! There is also a Trainer mode. This plays like normal difficulty, but you can apply various cheats for infinite lives, health, etc. No high score is recorded in trainer mode. When trainer mode is active, use the following cheat keys: F1: Restore Health F2: Extra Life F3: Shield F5: Skip Level F6: Skip World 1/2: Set Multiple Weapon. 3/4: Set Laser Weapon. 5/6: Set Bounce Weapon. 7/8: Set Lightning Length. 0: Smart Bomb Enhanced Gameplay ----------------- Some additional features have been added over the original. Each level (excluding spaceship levels) have 3 hidden drones to find. They will lead you to secrets. Find them all to unlock a new gameplay reward. A "Gyro Jump" option has been added, which allows the player to exit the gyroscope at any time. The original required the player to be grounded. Saved Progress -------------- NOTE: The floppy version does not support saved progress. This option is provided for people who do not have the time to complete a playthrough in one sitting. At the start of each level, your progress is saved to disk (excluding Speed Run, New Game+ modes). On your next play, you have the option to continue from the last save, or to start a new game. WHDLoad version --------------- Double click the icon, or if running from command line: WHDLoad Turrican2AGA.slave Preload Use the NoCache version if the music has problems (can happen on systems with an 060) Your current settings and hiscores will be saved to disk when using the WHDLoad version. Amiga DOS version ----------------- If you have low RAM, and don't want to run the floppy version, this version may work better for you than the WHDLoad version. PAL/NTSC -------- PAL was the European TV standard, and runs at 50fps. NTSC was the American standard and runs at 60fps. The original Amiga game was designed for PAL. When running on NTSC, it will run 20% faster, and be more prone to dropping frames (due to less blitter time per frame). The same is true for this game. If you want the experience as intended, play the PAL version. But if your display is stuck at 60hz, you may want to try the NTSC version. Your Amiga must be configured as PAL/NTSC to match the version of the game you are playing.
