Alterra was once inhabited by human colonists. It was a completely human engineered "lifeworld" in a distant galaxy. Alterra contains four individual colonies, each with an ecosystem individually bio-engineered by a powerful network known as the Multiple Organism Unit Link, or MORGUL.
But a great quake disrupted MORGUL's functioning, making it rebel murderously against the colonists. Few colonists were lucky enough to escape with their lives. For generations, mankind has wanted to return to Alterra. Now there may be a way. Turrican, a bio-engineered warrior, has been sent to Alterra to clear it out and make it inhabitable again.
Turrican is a 2D platform shooting game similar to Metroid. Turrican can jump, shoot, and curl up and roll around in a buzz-saw ball. Turrican has a variety of weapons at his disposal, and can pick up many power-up types that will increase his weapon abilities, restores some health, or protect him from attack.
Players must guide Turrican through the game's four multi-level colony stages clearing out the enemies, eventually culminating in a showdown with the insane AI known as MORGUL. Turrican has a life bar that depletes every time he's hit by an enemy; if the life bar is completely drained, Turrican will lose a life.

This game has it's moments, with it's detailed sprawling levels and fast action/platforming, but the game just feels very average. All the elements that make up Turrican are there, the energy beam, weapon powerups, the roll-bomb, so it delivers the experience to fans of the game just fine and has good music as well. The graphics & enemies just aren't as interesting as better action platformers for the GB such as Operation C. Overall it's just average IMO.
