What the fuck? Why is this so hard? You nudge an enemy and all your life bar is gone... Whatever happened to being temporarily invincible upon being hit?

I used to play this game all the time as a kid but i must have used a trainer or something because i don't remember dying so much

It gets easier once you know where all the secret weapon cashes and extra lives are.
Also the scrolling is a bitch. Since your Turrican sprite is off center relative to where you are going, reacting to things coming at you is simply impossible sometimes. Occasionally stopping and going slower will save your ass more times than dying once or twice to the damn clock.

Yep. It's a shit game. It lacks basic game design principles, like the one you mentioned, that had already been standard in the industry for several years. Don't get me started on the fucking level design either.
I'm playing Super Turrican right now on SNES and it's been fun so far.

I like Turrican III/Mega Turrican more. Too bad it still suffers from no invincibility frames after getting hit.
I enjoy Super Turrican 2 even though it's more a run'n'gun instead of exploration.
It was originally a computer game, and those tend to be shorter and more difficult than console games.
