Super Turrican is the fifth video game in the Turrican series, released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1993. Super Turrican was also released on the Virtual Console in Europe and Australia on February 29, 2008, and in North America on March 3, 2008. Gameplay Super Turrican was developed by Factor 5 and published by Seika. It plays similarly to Mega Turrican (also developed by Factor 5) and shares a similar visual style. The game has a different set of levels, however, and features a freeze beam in place of the original lightning whip. The game only features 4 worlds and ends with the H. R. Giger-inspired alien boss, despite a representation of 'The Machine', similar to that featured in Mega Turrican, appearing in the prologue. Super Turrican: Director's Cut A previously unreleased uncut version of the game, titled Super Turrican: Director's Cut, was included with the Analogue Super Nt console. Previously, this uncut version was considered for release on the Wii's Virtual Console, but was rejected by Nintendo due to not being previously released on consoles. Reception Super Gamer gave the SNES version an overall review score of 89% summarizing: "You’ve got masses of firepower, but while enemies are numerous, there aren’t as many mega-monsters as there could be."
