Super Turrican

Screenshots1 / 2

A side-scrolling platformer scene displays a blue sky background with a score of 880450 in the upper right and a lives counter showing 30 in the upper left. The bottom third of the screen shows a brown terrain layer with vertical plant or grass-like sprites protruding upward. A player character stands on the rightmost platform section, while enemies or creatures are scattered across the terrain. The pixel art uses a limited 8-bit color palette with distinct sprite work characteristic of NES-era graphics.
