I know some people swear by Super Turrican, but to me, playing it for the first time as an adult, it feels like a very average shooter. Despite having great level design, and a few bells and whistles (there's one part where you're being blown backwards by the wind a la Lost Levels), the game play was nothing to write home about. I got bored pretty quick.
It took a few phone calls to friends to figure out how to pronounce Super Turrican. As far as the song is concerned, this is what happens when I don't know what to say about a game. I was really desperate, not really knowing what to write at all, so I just started talking over this rich musical background that I was working on for something else. I rather like how it came out, which once again goes to show that you really never know. Out of a complete lack of inspiration can come something decent.

im the game jew.
run and gun and run and gun and run and gun
run and gun and run and gun and run and gun
all you people like that?
for a gamejew production, i thought it was pretty uninspiringly weak.
and yes i can make up words like uninspiringly.
the run and gun and gun and run was catchy for a millisecond and the rest of it was just bare bones talking/singing(?)
like almost all your other stuff though.
typo...fix should read;
"I like almost all your other stuff though."
@mechamonkey...i like your version of mr. destructoid, shit is sweet.
I totally got how you felt about the game, bored and sort of excited at the same time.
I bought this cart for my SNES the first time and played it for the first time in 2005. Since I am an adult now and it was well past the SNES life by about 10 years.
I looked at the game as if my SNES was brand new ofr the SNES and it's hardware it was an amazing game that came out of nowhere and had a horrible cover that made it even more surprizing how good it is.
