Mega Turrican

1994 · Sega Genesis/Mega Drive · Factor 5

Mega Turrican is a run and gun video game developed by Factor 5 in 1993 and published by Data East in 1994. Part of the Turrican series, it was released for the Mega Drive/Genesis, and later followed by an Amiga port converted by Kaiko and Neon Studios under the title of Turrican 3: Payment Day. Despite not being the original, the Amiga version was the one that was first commercially released in 1993, published by Rainbow Arts in Germany and Renegade in the rest of Europe. The Mega Drive version did not have a publisher and stayed unreleased from spring 1993 until 1994, when Data East took over its worldwide distribution. Data East itself released the game in North America, and contracted Sony Imagesoft for the game's distribution in Europe. Synopsis from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA.
