I wouldn't necessarily say that Turrican is a rare game.  Back in '93 or '94
when stores were clearing out their unsold TG titles, I picked up Turrican new
for $5.  It's not a very good conversion.  Shame, too, because the original
Turrican games were really spectacular for their times.  If you want to take a
peek into the Turrican legacy, check out Turricans 1-3 on the Amiga (TII
especially has AWESOME music), and the Super Turricans on the SNES.

It's a shame that the Turbo version is one of the worst conversions out there;
maybe if Factor 5 had handed the conversion job to a European or Japanese game
company, rather than Accolade...
