Play Turrican (USA, Europe) Online
Charge your laser, morph into a spinning death wheel, and blast through swarms of robots—somehow this tiny cartridge packs the same chaotic run-and-gun action as the big console versions.
Turrican on the Game Boy came out in 1990, published by Rainbow Arts. It was part of that wave of ambitious action games trying to translate complex, fast-paced experiences onto the small screen. You could tell they were pushing the hardware, even if some compromises had to be made.
You control a heavily armed soldier, moving through side-scrolling levels filled with robotic enemies and environmental hazards. Your main goal is to survive each stage, defeat the boss, and move forward. Key mechanics include a versatile laser beam that can be charged for a wide shot, and the ability to morph into a spiked wheel for brief invulnerability and close-quarters damage. The pacing is relentless, and the difficulty is substantial, demanding quick reflexes and careful resource management. It feels tense and demanding, but deeply satisfying when you finally clear a tough section.
