If you love Super Turrican, I also recommend checking out Mega Turrican for the Sega Mega Drive, although it's not on our beloved SNES (bleh!). Within the Super Nintendo family,
Contra III: The Alien Wars and
Super Metroid are also Fantastic choices. Both games offer intense action and platforming, just like Super Turrican. And remember, at MarioSNES.nl, you always get a 6-month warranty on the functionality of our products. Fantastic, isn't it?
