Super Turrican 2
One of the most technically advanced games to be released on the SNES; this shooter featured liberal use of voice samples, Mode 7 and even Dolby Surround.
Overview
Super Turrican 2 is a side-scrolling shooter game for the SNES and part of the Turrican (Franchise) series of games, which features sci-fi heroes equipped with the titular "Turrican" cybernetic combat suit as they move around large environments filled with enemies. The game is also a direct sequel to 1993's Super Turrican (Game). Like other games in the series, it features a lot of side-scrolling "run-and-gun" shooter action, though Super Turrican 2 also features vehicle levels. The Turrican suit is equipped with a grappling arm for the first time, which expands the protagonist's traversal capabilities.
The game makes ample use of the Super Nintendo's technology, including copious amounts of Mode 7 (Concept), and is one of a handful of SNES games to take advantage of Dolby Surround Sound. It premiered in its native Europe first before being released in North America later the same year.
Super Turrican 2 was published on the Wii's Virtual Console in North America in 2008, but has since been removed from the service.
