Amiga Gaming - Turicantu

Turicantu was an Amiga game released in 1991 and one of the best Amiga games is like a sideways scrolling adventure shoot them up game. The AGA part in this release is that later Amiga's like the 1200 and the 4000 had bigger color palette and could have more colors on the screen but they couldn't take use those colors on the old games. This person called sonic sloth has actually reverse engineered the original PC version of Turicantu because that used 256 colors which is what an AGA Amiga can display. It took I don't know about 40 minutes to copy this game over the parallel port to the Amiga another 20 minutes to decompress the files oh wow
