Hi Tom.
I can't speak about original monti, as until i saw your version and played
that old retro remakes one with the original graphics I never played the
original, however I am very familiar with mega man and turrican as you know.
original Turrican 2 was the game that really! stands out for me. it had such
a simple concept, man with gun in giant maze level finds exit surrounded by
many enemies picking up weapon powers, yet it is one of the finest games
I've ever played and I can still get fun out of the original today even
though i know the levels backwards, --- heck the same goes for super
metroid, mega man x, original marrio brothers or even a walk along beatemup
such as golden axe.
I know many people over on the turrican remake boards that actually say they
prefer! playing the new turrican levels to paying large amounts for what big
companies churn out nexxt, for reason of the fact that good design has been
replaced largely by visual appeal, ---- indeed this doesn't just hold for
games (I could talk about the current series of Doctor who in very much the
same terms).
Utliamtely though it's the design that counts.
Beware the Grue!
Dark.
