Absolutely yes, hell yes, fucking yes.Turrican II, Amiga version. Which probably doesn't help you.
It does because that version isn't too expensive on eBay and I'm certainly not above using an emulator.
I think the Amiga roms for Turrican were distributed officially at some point, so that shouldn't be an issue. Can you still legally buy the Kickstart rom from an official reseller?

Yes agreed, although I think Mega Turrican was a port of that, so OP may be able to play it.

That first post..nailed it!
The Amiga version is most likely running at 50fps (because 50hz monitors/TVs in Europe).Also, the game is running like tore up ass, what gives? I'm following all the advice. About to give up and just go the PSP route...

This is going to look like shit on standard 60hz displays.
In before someone groans about legally obtaining a kickstart rom.
That's what i meant, sorry. The graphics will be fine but the frame rate will look like it skips and not smooth at all.It looks good, but it's running very very poorly. Constant slowdowns, audio skips, unresponsive controls.

It's butter smooth on the original hardware but the problem even with a real Amiga is to have a screen today that can handle 50hz (or 49.999999hz or whatever it is) properly. I'm currently using a BenQ XL2411 and an Indivision card and it's running perfectly smooth but the purist in me still prefer the original Amiga monitor even though the screen is tiny.That's what i meant, sorry.

Unless you can lock your monitor/TV at 50hz (my TV does that).
Also, i'm not sure how well the game runs on a real Amiga. Whatever slowdowns it has there, they will be emulated so maybe you need to overclock the emulated 68000 CPU? I do the same with Metal Slug games for instance. They run a bit shitty on the stock 12Mhz 68000.
WinUAE is a nightmare when it comes to configuring controls. The remap option is completely useless...
What am I doing wrong?

I decided to revisit the game using WinUAE thanks to this thread. Mostly played the game boy version as a kid, but the nostalgia is strong.
Here's the .uae config I use for Turrican 2:
http://pastebin.com/TkqfVNwV
It's setup for integer scaled NTSC graphics, so it'll run at 60hz and everything'll be nice and sharp. Arrow keys and Z/X for move and fire respectively.
It uses one of the later Amiga models, which may help with the performance issues. What sort of spec PC are you trying to run this on by the way?
For remapping, open the Remap / Test window for Port 2 and click 'Delete All'. You can then double-click on the empty line under each of the mapping headers (Joy2 Left, Joy2 Up, etc.) and press a key to bind it.
Gsync monitors solve this.
Can confirm. Smooth as buttah.
No worries, glad you got it sorted!Thanks man, but I ended up figuring it out. It's buttery smooth now. ^^
For sure. It's such a great representation of the Amiga era, back when nobody had written the book on 2D game design yet.Damn, this game throws ALOT of pickups at you right at the very start, huh? European design...
You'd never see shit like this these days.
It's a shame this series can't be made available on current gen systems and services :/
Cool! I actually have a first gen Asus gsync, but it only have a display port so I'm not sure how to connect the Amiga to it, but maybe there are some adapter available?Gsync monitors solve this.

All I ever have played is Super Turrican on Snes, and always felt like the game was a weird Contra/Metroid mashup. Anyone care to explain what it is I'm missing?
Funny. What is it that makes the game so special or standout? Nothing about the Snes game screamed out to me as anything more than "another 2d shooter". What are the defining aspects of the series that I should be excited about or makes it stand apart from something like Contra 3 or Gunstar Heroes? All I see here are adjectives describing feelings of playing Turrican 2 on Amiga. I'm asking for real details as to why I should care about the game. I'm not trying to be an ass...I honestly would like to know what's so cool about it, because I'm truly interested.An Amiga and a copy of Turrican 2.
