You Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 (edited) According to this video anyway:- As Sylvanticore points out though, this is no hamster arcade archives and savestates can't be used to get the trophies. Unusual to see Ratalaika games in the title credits at the very start. I wonder what the cheats are. Watched a bit of the video and already having nostalgia trips, Still can't believe these games are 30 years old. I honestly feel old.

Sylvanticore Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I'm afraid to say this but while it does have save states you can not earn trophies in Standard mode as it shows at 2:40 in the video, only by playing on Trophy Challenge are you actually able to earn trophies and that does not have Rewind or Save states. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
You Posted January 21, 2021 Author Share Posted January 21, 2021 (edited) Oh yeah, you're right. Bummer. Serves me right for skipping through bits of the video and missing some crucial information just at the right moment. I edited my original post, thanks for pointing out that Turrican 1 was a bit too hard for me as a kid. Turrican 2 I was able to do several times, although not played it for a very long time. Never played the other two. Edited January 21, 2021 by enaysoft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cherrywood Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Never played these games, don't remember ever seeing or hearing about them even which is weird, but I definitely support this decision. Trophies are supposed to say that you're capable of doing something and that you've done it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platisfaction Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 OMG, I played the hell out of Turrican I and II on the C-64 when I was a kid! Must have beaten Turrican II more than 100 times. I also played Super Turrican on SNES, not sure about Mega Turrican... Cannot wait for this! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visighost Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I LOVED Turrican as a kid! So happy they're out. And happy we have a Ratalaika game without giveaway trophies? Would be ironic if people complained about THAT... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy947 Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 (edited) My pre order for the physical copy shipped today! I haven’t played Turrican 1 and 2 since the early 90’s on the Amiga so I’m really looking forward to this! I’ve never played Super or Mega either. Regarding the trophies, am I right in thinking they’ll only unlock in a single playthrough with no cheats or saving involved? This could be tough! I also don’t remember secret bosses and other trophy related requirements so I hope someone puts a guide together for this.

alexandra-jane09 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 (edited) Received the game in the post today, I only ever played Turrican 2 on the Amiga, don't think I ever finished though but certainly looking forward to hearing its soundtrack after all these years. I guess you could play the game in Standard, so there is no pressure to get the trophies and familiarise yourself with the game then go into Trophy Challenge mode, which I think I will do as I haven't played since the 90's.

Which version did you get Alexandra? I was just this second about to buy and then just found there are two versions (for some reason) Turrican Flashback which has 3/4 games and Turrican Anthology Vol 1 which has 5 games. https://store.strictlylimitedgames.com/products/copy-of-turrican-anthology-vol-1-ps4-preorder So now I'm thinking wtf, why are there two versions and if I buy the digital version, then well, I'm losing out on the full collection. The Turrican Anthology box art also looks way better, looks just like the original classic box art that I remember.

Jimmy947 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I initially pre ordered the Antholgy edition from strictly limited for 41 euros but cancelled my order for a refund as soon as Flashback was announced. The physical version of Turrican Flashback from base.com only cost me £19.85 so I jumped at that! I only plan on playing and completing them though then trading it in. I guess if you’re a collector the Antholgy set is the better option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexandra-jane09 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 @enaysoftI received Turrican Flashback, I pre-ordered mine from Amazon UK, I heard about the Anthology version but I haven't seen it retail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy947 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I had forgotten how difficult and frustrating these games can be without cheats! Especially the first game. When I was a kid playing these on the Amiga I definitely cheated my way through them. I guess I understand why the developers disabled the trophies when using cheats and save states but at the same time it sucks since I think this will be stuck on my trophy list at 4% Never mind though, it’s still a great little walk down memory lane, especially the soundtracks and title screens for the first 2 games. Takes me right back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kALWa888 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 (edited) I have a question though. Does anybody know if I have to earn (for example) 50 lives and 1500 crystals during one playtrough? Or can it be done during multiple playtroughs/tries? Edited January 31, 2021 by kALWa888 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy947 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 (edited) @kALWa888 That’s a great question, I’d like to know this too! I might give it a try tomorrow by grinding the first stage of Turrican 1... As soon as you start if you run left and jump up the cliff there’s a 1up so that would be a good place to test this method. Also could someone give me a hint as to where the secret bosses are located in Turrican 1 & 2 and the secret level in Mega Turrican so I can try for those trophies. Thank you ?

You Posted January 31, 2021 Author Share Posted January 31, 2021 Stuck at 4%? Does using save states disable all of the trophies and not just the one credit one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you @Jimmy947 In Turrican 1, when you start third level, go right till the end, and then up on these little platforms, that form a "pile" of sort - near catapults shooting at you from the right. Keep going up till you see a long platform on the left. Then just go left till the end - there is secret boss, pretty easy too (use beam on him - it's called flash in the control menu). Anyway, here's video (not mine) for visual reference. I left a timestamp for you. As for the Turrican II. You have to beat first level. Then, after collapsing floor, you will come to the waterfall, Keep going right until you will find area with many balls. The ones that interests you the most in this moment are the ones far to the right - you can stand on top of them. When you will shoot trough all of them, you're gonna start falling down. Keep to the left side of the screen, and then go left where is another boss. If you have problems with understanding me, here's video with timestamp. It's kinda hard to desribe it with words Pretty useful video tho, As for Mega Turrican I have no clue where secret level is.

kALWa888 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 @enaysoft Description in game menus say that using Standard Mode (which has Save States) disable all trophies, so yeah. If u want platinum trophy you can't use Save States. Or cheats. You have to play in mode called Trophy Challenge - and there is no Save State. You have to finish the game in one sitting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
You Posted January 31, 2021 Author Share Posted January 31, 2021 Oh really, so playing Standard Mode disables ALL trophies? Actually I think this is great, I think I'd rather relax and enjoy the games and have a 0% list, that I can delete later when I have finished enjoying all the games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumbest thing they could have done imo, it's not possible to do this game in one sitting, even the Amiga allowed you to save. It will probably sit at 1% on my list, shame GODS Remastered didn't have any of this no save stuff, and I doubt Shadow of the Beast remakes has this either.

It will take you about an hour. I completed Turrican 2 several times on my Amiga in one credit, albeit over 25 years ago. In Turrican 2 you can jump in and out of the shuriken form at any time and you are completely invincible in that state and you can lay an infinite amount of bombs too, so during bosses you can roll around in your shuriken wait for a chance to attack jump up fire a few shots and then go back into your shuriken form again. I some levels where you need to descend down you can just be the shuriken. Turrican 1 on the other hand, you can only use the shuriken 3 times per life and the game in general is rock hard. I could never get very far on World 2 out of 5 but Turrican 2 is so easy in comparison. Still a tough game though. And of course the Mega Turrican, you seem to have that crappy swing mechanic and no shuriken at all? That one is probably rock hard too. I just want to play the games though, I think I am fine to not have any trophies for this game. Well who knows, I might have a crack at it, but man, Turrican 1 is brutal, I always remember it being hard. Shame the game isn't 3 100% lists instead of one big platinum list. then I could just play Turrican 2 with the trophies.

I agree it should have been separate 100% or Platinum so that you have the choice, I just think it was mean of them to disable saving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
