In like: having a complete soundtrack, instead just a conversion of a specific track... ;-)It's a nice conversion for sure. But the Amiga version of Jim Power is the original version. Just listen to the Amiga title track...
The mountains in the background are moving in the wrong direction when moving the player, the mountains should move to the left if the player goes to the right
the sega version has the best running character animation of the home ports but why does this one and the snes one have parallax scrolling going in the opposite direction
this game blows time and spaces mind. i think its the colors mixed with the fluid abrupt graphics. also the reverse faster than you backgrounds makes it feel like your falling backwards while moving fowards. its cool.
Never Ending Cavern but alas it ended? They were speaking metaphorically,the cavern is still there and will always be there but you just pass through to the end just not ending the existence of the cavern.
I have the Piko Interactive normal and enhanced SNES version of this game. The enhanced version, removes the parallax background and makes the game a little easier and more enjoyable without unnecesary visual distractions, however, the soundtrack of this Megadrive version is so impressive, much better and catchy, I love It! I must also say that visually, this version looks better too, but sadly, the gameplay is horrible due to the short jumps, something that fortunately doesn´t happen in either of the two versions of SNES. The perfect version of this game would be like this: Playability of SNES and music and graphics of Megadrive. Unfortunately, Piko Intreractive never showed any interest in this version, without a doubt, with some good improvements in the gameplay, more varied soundtrack and with an ending, it would have been the perfect version... Sorry for my english.
Have you really played the finished Mega Drive version? Or are you just basing your thoughts on this old unfinished prototype? The finished Mega Drive version still doesn't solve the gameplay issues you mention with jumps, but it does with the soundtrack and the ending. Another addition is that you also have life points (based on difficulty level, this also applies to lives and continues) instead of being forced to one hit deaths like in this prototype, though that was also added in the enhanced SNES version. Overall, for me, it's no doubt the best version of this game.
yano i dont think sega produced anything as definedly evil as nintendo back in the 16 bit wars. that credit goes to nintendo and giygas. thats just a fucking exposition on prime evil.
The SNES versions is called Jim Power in the 3D Lost Dimension or something like that. I guess all that scrolling was intended to make it 3-D like- and I remember this kid had this game and even tried to use it with 3-D glasses but it didn't work lol.
Errr... I think the programmers have gone too far with that INTENSE and UNREAL parallax background. The last layer is moving in OPPOSITE DIRECTION. Sickness! xD
They never finished the music for this game that why it only has that mega turrican song. Someone really needs to finish this game right now and give us all new crazy genesis cool beats, and this game will wipe out snes port out of the park. Super nintendos lack of music funk brings down the gaming experience!!
Great game just rather choose the snes version because the genesis only has one music track for the whole game those stupid developers this could’ve been a classic

The running animation in this one has to be one of the best.
That DoS/Amiga impression is here! Ported over to the Genesis.
Fantastic game. Awesome music... Chris Huelsbeck, made a outstanding work on Genesis... Its a shame this version never see The light..
Amiga version music was much better imo

Sounds like it uses some audio effects from MegaTurrican, and maybe the same composer?
Chris Huelsbeck composed both.
The mountains in the background are moving in the wrong direction when moving the player, the mountains should move to the left if the player goes to the right
So many memories with this game 💜
Still waiting for the Mega Drive version. I don't think it's out yet.
Is it ever coming out? I bought the Steam version partly for the Megadrive full release...
really dig that sound track! Sure it's only one song, still really catchy.
the sega version has the best running character animation of the home ports
but why does this one and the snes one have parallax scrolling going in the opposite direction
this game blows time and spaces mind. i think its the colors mixed with the fluid abrupt graphics. also the reverse faster than you backgrounds makes it feel like your falling backwards while moving fowards. its cool.
extreme detailed graphics. the game looks and sounds great. Why they did not launched it?
good soundtrack
This game I swear, the bane of my existence. The SNES one is brutal, this one has those awful zig zag levels and no ending. Great work SCHLAUCHI
This looks better than the SNES version, but the scrolling is still going the wrong way. Just not as painful to watch as the SNES version.
Thou the background is so alien it's actually interesting you don't see things like this in recent created video games
How do you get hurt from dripping Water Drops? 1:33
the game of life doesnt have rules, just consequences.
The name system is also weird too flying shellfish for something that's too alien to be remotely a shellfish.
Like a blend of Turrican, Rygar and Ghosts'n'Ghouls, but not nearly as good as either.
Wow really different music from the SNES version
Never Ending Cavern but alas it ended? They were speaking metaphorically,the cavern is still there and will always be there but you just pass through to the end just not ending the existence of the cavern.
Love the music...
I also see a moving spike ball from sonic
Are we seeing more than 64 colors on screen here? These graphics are amazing.
The Amiga original only used 32 colors lol.
@@solarflare9078 The amiga would be 15 colours, x1 transparent and then copper effects.
If amiga has 2 planes one is 7 colours the other 8 .
@@leighbyford635 amiga version was advertised to use 200 colors at once thanks to heavy copper usage !
@@fnoirotyt yep, you are right.
I was wrong about the low colour count , it does use the copper to boost its limit.
It’s a very impressive Amiga game.
it looks is using megaturricane's game engine, music and sfx
parallax scrolling: the game
Mega drive Jim power
This game reminds me of Risky Woods... a lot. Same company?
Bayou Billy is hard im almost doubting that anyone's ever beatin that game.
The Buttons In That Game Sucks
Two different companies.
Thank you
Perhaps the similarities you're seeing stem from them both being Amiga ports.

I think the first level music is similar to one in ys in the final version

oh thanks, i feel old when i remember about WinXP

Thanks!
Wow, the music doesn't sound.. Megadrivey. It sounds more like Amiga.
yano i dont think sega produced anything as definedly evil as nintendo back in the 16 bit wars. that credit goes to nintendo and giygas. thats just a fucking exposition on prime evil.
da dun da dun da dun da dun da dun da dun da dun da dun da...
ba ba bummmmm ba ba..
Turrican like!!!!!! The guy walks the same way and there're plenty of hidden items
too much movement in background. It's not a game for long play! You could get seizure from it
Yeah * EPILEPSY WARNING * title candidate 1. May be thats reason it never made it past a beta
The SNES versions is called Jim Power in the 3D Lost Dimension or something like that. I guess all that scrolling was intended to make it 3-D like- and I remember this kid had this game and even tried to use it with 3-D glasses but it didn't work lol.
think that comes from flashing lights.
The sound effects are identical to Turrican 2
*Mega Turrican
Errr... I think the programmers have gone too far with that INTENSE and UNREAL parallax background. The last layer is moving in OPPOSITE DIRECTION. Sickness! xD
It's a common thing in older games not just this one.
Turrican redisgned graphics
Que musicote tiene este juego
weird . . .but beautiful!xD
They never finished the music for this game that why it only has that mega turrican song. Someone really needs to finish this game right now and give us all new crazy genesis cool beats, and this game will wipe out snes port out of the park. Super nintendos lack of music funk brings down the gaming experience!!
It's already been done.
weirdass ships with no other purpose than to look cool. fucking art.
Hmmm you forgot to add sega genesis to title
This guys neck look unreal
Whoa. The Genesis version looks even more unforgiving than its SNES counterpart!
That music!)
why does this sound exactly like turrican? aweful imitation lol
Dunno why you assume it's an imitation.
Great game just rather choose the snes version because the genesis only has one music track for the whole game those stupid developers this could’ve been a classic
Amiga version is waaaaaay better and much better music.
the controls in this game are total garbage.
great music but that is this pile of shit’s only redeeming quality.
