Made by sceners, released at a scene party, free, so I think it's ok to add it to the db.

I've played it up to level 2-2 by now and I can say that despite some obvious bugs and misplaced things here and there, it's a damn fun game.

so much work and dedication went into this, you simply cannot *not* thumb it up. (witness my double negation skills!)

For being insane enough to do this :)

:O

sickos ;)

awesome super duper trooper!

I wonder how many of those years they've been wanking to porn, but whatever, it's pretty cool that they made this.

I'm also still at 2-2, but was told code will get better with 3-1. Stuff I don't like too much:

- Breakable blocks/balls can only be destroyed with the surround, other weapons do not work (unlike t1&t2)
- When in wheel-mode, enemies are not killed by running over them (unlike t1&t2)
- I REALLY miss ingame sounds, the quality of the background music is rather average and gets on my nerves after some time
- Well, the bugs (walking in wallls etc)

Other than that, it fucking RULES!

Please tell me what the big deal is. They've just ripped a games resources and converted them, right?

Wrong. Very.

i've played it for a while and the bugs havent disturbed me that much. great gfx and music, but i would like a nicer feel in the way you move. and i believe aeg made quite alot of other more or less nice stuff during those years

@Scamp: press fire button, you can shoot your weapon while in wheel-mode and kill the monsters that way.

Oh, and I'm still waiting with a final verdict until I've completed the game in the normal way. Worth a thumb up regardless.

With my lame gamer-skillz I think I'll wait for a trained version, so I can get past level 1-1, before I make my final judgement. But my first impression is that it seems a bit unfinished with those bugs and spelling errors, which I think is a shame when it has taken seven years to make.

cruzer: I felt the same as you about the game (for my first try it simply crashed). But I gave it a 2nd try now, and I must say that its pretty much bugfree on the later levels. So my "buggy" feeling vanished. The parallax shoot em up level is just Great :)

argh this is damn hard
gimme a turrican3+++ version ;))

There are some bugs, though nothing show-stopping.

This game is C=64 rulage.

Long live the chicken head.

Just utterly wonderful. /me avoids a really bad pun he just came up with.

Not tried it. But thumb up just for making it!

Turrican sux, creatures is the way!
...and about this release: respecting the work of the authors i don't thumb it down :)

Grate rulez! But somehow I want punishment for these individually misspelled words...

thank you aeg! =)

OMG!

This is very great. Yet, I'd prefer a new Amiga Turrican.

OMG!

Yet another platform game, no new ideas, ripoff etc.....what is so damn great?

I dunno, but we're not talking about Quake 3, this is about Turrican III.

Zplex, you suck.

Compensating for his vote.

I'll compensate for stelthz :)

This prod has a value I cannot describe in words. Thank you that you actually developed the game from 97 till now. Thank you for the disks handed out at evoke and thank you for eventually making it so great.

" this is about Turrican III."

You folks sounds like u are in a sect :)

Zplex, youi suck.

If it wouldve been developed in -7 years it couldve been released when atleast polish people used c64s.

R:E:S:P:E:C:T to SMASH DESIGNS !

Looking forward to KATAKIS 2.

turrican.

nuff said.

Heh i was just playing Katakis the other day ;p still a great game.

Amazing! All my respect belongs to you.

plasmatron: Katakis 2 would be "Enforcer", I think. :)

how can anyone thumb this down?!

Haha :)

Best game ever continued.. And as i guess Katakis II was already released by smash /:=)..

sagacité: Depends, crush, also made my smash also claims to be an inofficial katakis follow-up.

Rocks

There was so many good platform 64kb games at middle 90´s. for 8bit computers.

Ordinary classic platform game for C64, nothing more...

Finally!

great and admirable job aeg & kru!

Fucking rules. Respect.

i'm a bit confused... the code is by AEG & completely new? b/c the levels look almost exactly like the original Turrican material. where's the innovation?

rules

Makes me happy to see such ambitious projects getting finished after a long time.

I was a CPC gamer so I didn't knew anything about Turrican back then. I enjoyed playing Turrican 3 while wondering "More bugs than Windows?", nevertheless most of them didn't spoiled the great gameplay. Kinda hard for me though, since I wasn't a Turrican player at my youth, only tried the whole series through emulator with trainer lately, so I managed it till the 3rd level with save states this time (plus a hint to go directly to the 5th level that I read somewhere on CSDB) and waiting for the trainer now ;)

I will surelly buy Katakis 2 if it ever gets released. (I am wondering in how many years)

> only tried the whole series through emulator with trainer lately (the old Turrican 1 and 2 I mean and not the 3, the 3 only with save states for the moment)

Simply awesome to see this prod finished. Though it's a little obvious that it's not done by MT and the original crew (lacks in design a little), it just kicks ass to have it now in 2004 as a true C64 game :) . Ok, Turrican might walk like he pissed his (iron) pants, but anyways, I let him have his way :)

And since I'm at it: It's great what SDS does on the C64. But the premiere presentation at EVOKE just sucked as much as T3 rules, sorry. This cheap looking 3D animated junk they wanted to promote T3 with was the worst piece of presentational ambition (and BTW the most unappropriated for a retro game like T3) I have seen in a looong time. Uh, seems like SDS desperately needs backup on the design side of things ... :/

V1.1 of Turrican 3 is now ready for download. Check the included textfile for further informations.

Turrican 3 V1.1

great effort of course!

the poor collision-detection annoyes me. and that you just here in-game music, but no sound fx. sorry.
at all i think it's a nice pice for that machine. not as good as the first 2 parts, of course. for me it's okay.

another virtual thumb for the "nfofile"

This prod rox. Simply.

I do not own 64 anymore, but back in time I bought Turrican 1 +2 they were just awesome for the brave little machine.

And its just cool someone still releasing games like this on that machine!

I hated Turrican when i first played it on NES, it was to hard :'((

The saga continues. :)

AEG rulez :)

Respect.

What? Only 44? This deserves far more respect...

An outstanding achievement for C=64. Full respect for passion, skills and patience.

Well, as I was 11years old.. my birthday present from my parents was my 1st Computer, the legendary C=64 and after some times passed, my hero was 'released': TURRiCAN. Thanks for this great Conversation ;-)

yeah

Really really huge job! Congrats!

Yeah, I'm still playinh this... but the truth it has lotsa bugs, it likes to crash, flight level bosses are nearly impossible to kill...
But man, it's Turrican.

obvious thumb up for every single byte of this prod :D

to the down-thumbers: get lost lamers!!

One more time - excellent job, leute!

Turrican!;-)
