Super Turrican is a critically acclaimed action-packed 2D side-scrolling shooter video game developed by Manfred Trenz and published for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) in 1994. The game was well received by critics, who praised its graphics, sound, and level design. It has been featured in various magazines, including Electronic Gaming Monthly, Game Informer, and Nintendo Power.

The player takes control of Turrican, a robotic warrior whose mission is to save the world from an alien race known as the Machine Beasts. The game consists of five levels, each with its own unique setting. The first two levels take place on a space station while the remaining three are set on planets. As Turrican progresses through each level he must defeat enemies and obstacles while collecting power-ups and items that will help him succeed.

Each level contains several stages which can be completed in any order the player desires. At the end of each stage Turrican must face off against one of the game’s bosses. Defeating these bosses rewards players with special weapons or items that can be used to aid them in their journey.

The graphics of Super Turrican are incredibly detailed for an NES title and feature some impressive effects such as scaling sprites and large colorful backgrounds that change depending on where Turrican is located within each stage. The music is also outstanding with catchy tunes playing throughout levels that fit perfectly with the action taking place on screen.

The controls are responsive and easy to use allowing players to easily navigate through obstacles and enemies without any difficulty. Additionally, Super Turrican allows up to four players to join in on the fun with simultaneous multiplayer support available via a multitap adapter plugged into both controllers ports of an NES console.

Overall Super Turrican is an excellent example of how good a video game can look and play on the 8-bit system. Its high quality visuals and audio combined with its tight controls make it a classic title that still stands out today among other games released during its era.
