    Would be a 9 for leaving out a few things like Super Turrican 2 and the C64 games but as of this post I can only give it a 5 as Mega and Super Turrican consistently crash. The Amiga titles run flawlessly at least.

    Finally! The great Turrican games on the PS4.
    Good emulation: you can fiddle with the settings and shaders. It has a Rewind function.
    So everything is there.
    But it lacks the C64 Versions of Turrican 1 and 2 which is kind of sad.
    All in all a great package with the best Jump ‘n Run Games ever made.

    Make no mistake, Turrican Flashback is a nice retro throwback. But I wish Factor 5 and publisher ININ Games did more to make it the proper celebration of the series it could have been. Aside from four pixel-perfect ports, there isn’t a lot here to justify the collection’s $30 price tag. Sure, you get the usual features like the ability to rewind your game and save states and a few visual filters. But save for those modern amenities, Turrican Flashback doesn’t offer much else apart from the aforementioned soul-crushing challenge and a load of zany weaponry.

    It’s rare to get top-quality Amiga games on PlayStation. Yet this collection can feel bare-bones, with extras only stretching to affectionate TV filters. If you’ve never played Turrican this is a curiosity. If, however, you grew up on the series there’s a sugary hit of nostalgia. [Issue#186, p.85]

    The Turrican franchise features some of the toughest and most punishing run and gun platforming gameplay you will ever come across. Especially the first game. As the series moved out to the consoles, gameplay became more balanced as Factor 5 matured and refined their creative skills. If you are up for a run and gun gameplay challenge, Turrican Flashback fits the bill.
