For someone who owned a Commodore 64, along with a person I knew who had an Atari ST, Turrican was a big deal. The platforming, the spread/laser beam weaponry, the spinning wheel transformation...it was the closest to getting a Metroid game without having to shell out for a Nintendo console.
I would love to support this. The soundtrack for Turrican was awesome.

@Tim Sheehy: Reading that comment, I was like, "How in the hell...? Is that reference THAT common?" Then realized it was you. Haha. Nice one. ;D
My first experience with Chris Huelsbeck's work was hearing the SNES soundtrack to Jim Power. The game was completely overshadowed by the powerful music.
Obviously he is one of my absolute favorite composers.
Though oddly enough my favorite work of his was the Soundtrack to the N64 version of Resident Evil 2. Why? It colored the somber, horror mood of the game perfectly. In comparison the Gamecube/Dreamcast version's soundtrack was just flat and somewhat corny. (though it kinda made up for it with the hilarious credits music after Scenario B)
I really do hope this project is successful.

After the Double Fine success everyone wanted a piece of the pie. Why not take it slow instead of flooding Kickstarter? I can understand the Wasteland and Shadowrun projects, because those will kick serious ass, but the rest? Nah.
I'd rather have a new Turrican game.
I've been wondering when we'd hear about Turrican again. On another forum the other day a new release was compared to Turrican and most of the commenters had no idea what it was. It made me feel sad (and old.
With all the old school reboots these days, don't we deserve a new Turrican.

such a shame there is no mention of vinyl...what would be beautiful would be a 7 inch single with a (is it .tap) recordin so a spectrum version of the game could be loaded. and would the universal soldier game be included here? or was it unoffically just a rip off?
please please again do a limited run on vinyl. make it an object worth ownin.

i remember the games, and the music was good but i'm not all that bothered about owning it.
sad that people are "sick" of kickstarter projects. if you're one of those people you're probably not a bad person, but you may be kind of a dick. kickstarter is kind of undeniably a good thing. if enough people want something they can have it. if nobody is interested, the project never happens. how can you possibly have a problem with that?

Decent series, but I tell you that I'd be a lot more interested in this if a true Turrican Anthology collection came out for some game platforms first. Castlevania was a different affair because that series is well known and beloved enough because of Konami frequently bringing out both old and new games (although the soundtrack anthology was quite incomplete, with lack-luster packaging).
