Wow my favorite Amiga 500 game, hope they do it justice!
I'm with you that, either way, this Ultra Collection and some renewed conversation with team members hopefully leads to a Turrican 4 project.
Those are excellent sets of games! I would have liked to see them include the Commodore 64 versions also, particularly since I played the first game on the C64.

Totally agree that it would have been great to have the Commodore versions in there, especially since Turrican started on C64, not Amiga. Granted, I don't know if there's much reason to play the C64, Atari ST, Amstrad CPC, ZX Spectrum, CDTV, or Game Boy versions over what's in this package, but I like having a package that dives deep into the history archives where possible. (That said, there's no reasonable Turrican collection that would have included the 16-bit Universal Soldier...)
Yes, Turrican started on C64 and Manfred Trenz is the original creator and owner of the series. He never contributed to the Factor 5 versions for Amiga or the console ports except for the NES version of Super Turrican. Those versions aren't just downgraded versions of the Amiga games. Many people consider the versions on C64 the better games due to better control, better gameplay, better level design, and speed. Manfred pretty much did most of the work on those versions.
Well its a minor miracle that we are even getting this somewhat new entry in the series, otherwise if you look at the attempts over the past 20 years to bring a new installment, then anyone would think we would never see a Turrican game ever again...so this is something at least, but the prices are a bit steep....Can't wait for the Turrican Fortnite skin since they're working for Epic now /s
Disappointing tbh, was expecting a new 2D game at least.
You pay in advance.Do you pay in advance for the pre orders or when the product ships?
