* PortingDisaster: The first two ''Turrican'' games suffered from this. The Mega Drive[=/=][[UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis Genesis]] port was the most intact, but had clunky controls; The UsefulNotes/TurboGrafx16 had the same clunky controls and also was missing all of world 3 and had a limited soundtrack; and the Game Boy also has a world missing as well as sluggish controls. ''Turrican II'' was worse. It was released as ''Film/UniversalSoldier'' [[{{The Problem With Licensed Games}} as a movie tie-in for the Mega Drive/Genesis and Game Boy]]. Ouch.

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: See PortingDisaster above. Other examples include ''Mega Turrican/Turrican 3'' and ''Super Turrican 2'' having more linear levels, and both ''Super Turrican'' (UsefulNotes/{{SNES}} game) and ''Super Turrican 2'' had your lightning beam changed from an attack to [[LightningCanDoAnything freezing enemies]].

Moved to trivia, what could have been


** Notably, Factor 5 actually went on record as saying that, with ''Super Turrican'', due to going for a cheaper cartridge, they had to cut literally the last third of the game. The definitive version was developed, and released over a decade later.
