If you’re a fan of classic run-and-gun mayhem, brace yourself: Turrican is coming to Evercade and HyperMegaTech! systems in February 2026, and this might be the definitive physical collection the series has ever received.
Blaze Entertainment has revealed a new Turrican cartridge that bundles six versions of Factor 5’s legendary shooter series—plus two Director’s Cuts and two Score Attack variants—into one meaty, full-fat release. It even comes with a full-colour manual, something Turrican purists will happily treasure next to their vinyl soundtracks. (Yes, Chris Huelsbeck fans, this is our moment.)
For anyone who grew up blasting biomechanical weirdness on the C64, Amiga, SNES, Mega Drive, or just spent years trying to perfect that iconic lightning whip, this is huge. The collection doesn’t just cherry-pick the highlights—it charts the entire evolution of Turrican across home computer and console generations. Think of it as a museum exhibit… except everything explodes.
This news is a great addition to Blaze Entertainment’s Evercade Black Friday sale, too.
What’s included
A selection of the classic 16-bit versions of the Turrican series are included — plus the fascinating alternate versions:
- Turrican (Amiga)
- Turrican II: The Final Fight (Amiga)
- Turrican 3 (Amiga)
- Super Turrican (NES)
- Super Turrican Director’s Cut (SNES)
- Super Turrican 2 (SNES)
- Super Turrican Score Attack (SNES)
- Mega Turrican (Mega Drive/Genesis)
- Mega Turrican Director’s Cut (Mega Drive/Genesis)
- Mega Turrican Score Attack (Mega Drive/Genesis)
The big talking point here is absolutely the Director’s Cut editions. These expanded versions restore previously cut content—lost bosses, extended areas, finishing touches Factor 5 never got to implement the first time around. For Turrican obsessives, that’s pure gold.
Pre-orders open now
The cartridge releases February 2026, but pre-orders are already live. If you’ve been collecting Evercade carts or just want a definitive, physical Turrican anthology you can actually hold in your hands, this feels like a no-brainer.
Honestly? As someone who grew up with Turrican on C64 and Amiga, owns Turrican Flashback on Switch, and still listens to Huelsbeck’s soundtrack albums… this announcement feels like Christmas came early.
You can pre-order The Turrican Collection for Evercade now.
