Turrican Anthology Vol. 2 (PS4)

Turrican Anthology Vol. 2 for PlayStation 4 brings the franchise's most technically ambitious entries to Sony's platform in a Strictly Limited Games exclusive limited to just 2,000 copies worldwide. Each copy is individually numbered, and this volume packs in Turrican 3 from Amiga, Mega Turrican and its Director's Cut from Genesis/Mega Drive, Super Turrican 2 from SNES, and the exclusive Super Turrican 1 Score Attack.

This is where the Turrican series hit its stride. Factor 5 had figured out how to wring every last drop of performance from 16-bit hardware, and these games are the proof. The Director's Cut of Mega Turrican alone makes this essential, restoring content that was left on the cutting room floor in the original release. Super Turrican 2 pushed the SNES harder than almost any other action game on the platform.

The inclusion of both original game audio and Chris Huelsbeck's remastered studio soundtrack gives you two ways to experience these classics. One is raw nostalgia, the sound of original hardware doing its best. The other is Huelsbeck's full compositional vision, unchained from platform limitations.

At 2,000 copies, this is even more limited than the Switch version. For PS4 collectors building a library of disc-based limited editions, this numbered volume is the kind of release that anchors an entire shelf. The Turrican legacy deserves better than a digital download, and this is exactly that.
