Game Summary:
Description:
Starring Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren
Based on the major motion picture, this awesome action adventure takes you from the streaming shell-pocked-jungles of Southeast Asia to laser-seared battlefields at home
You are a perfectly engineered Universal Soldier with extraordinary skills and powers - locked in mortal combat against your old Vietnam foe, the villainous Sergeant Scott. You are both ”Ultimate Fighting Machines”, but only one of you can survive!
- Are you strong enough to conquer ten incredible locations?
- Your arsenal includes Triple Beam Lasers, Land Mines and a special Chaos Weapon.
Universal Soldier:
Console conversions of Turrican II for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, SNES and Game Boy were produced by The Code Monkeys for Accolade, which had kept the rights for the console ports of the franchise. The game was originally developed using the original C64 source code and Amiga graphics as a base. At a late stage in the development, Accolade also acquired rights to produce a game spin-off of the Jean-Claude Van Damme movie Universal Soldier and decided to rebrand the console conversions as Universal Soldier. Turrican’s sprite was changed into a marine and several other substitutions were made. Among other changes, the eyeballs-walking-on-fingers became mini tanks, and instead of a large mech/steel dragon in the first stage, the player now faces a large representation of Dolph Lundgren’s character in the film.
The three shoot ’em up stages, cut out from the port, were replaced by the developers with three original stages (a Vietnam jungle, a fortress, and a motel/car junkyard) that in theory should link the game to the film’s atmosphere. The rest of the original Turrican II stages are still present and remain mostly intact in overall design, though some of them appear in a different order, along with the three new levels scattered through them.
In the end, Accolade only released the Mega Drive/Genesis and Game Boy versions in both North America and Europe. Accolade decided not to publish the SNES version due to the high cost of larger capacity SNES cartridges, so it only exists in the form of a leaked pre-production alpha ROM. As none of the computer versions were published in North America, these disenfranchised ports are still the only official North American releases of Turrican II up to this day.
