Forgot to post this last week for the first episode of the new year/volume for @caneandrinse.com

#TimeCrisis

Fantastic in the arcade. Probably even fun with PS1 version on a CRT with the Guncon light gun controller.

Not so much fun on emulation with d-pad or mouse support. Just not the same.

New podcast: Turrican

Leon, Chris W, Dan and Karl discuss this once highly-rated European product’s aspirations towards more elegant, Japanese-style design and sensibilities, as well as that legendary musical accompaniment.

Available now for free from productive podcast pumps.
Turrican - The Cane and Rinse videogame podcast
Buttery-smooth 8-way scrolling and 1300 screens of run and gun platform shoot-'em up action on 8 or 16-bit. That was the promise delivered upon by Rainbow Arts' Turrican in 1990.

I played through easy & normal of Sin & Punishment. I’d been meaning to play through it for … 25 years?! Damn.

Thanks to @caneandrinse.com for the inspiration with their recent episode. I played the recommended way with the left hand on the D-pad and the right on the analog stick, and it clicked.

To me it always felt that it carried the spirit of NES-era Rare (think R.C. Pro-Am and Cobra Triangle) way more than the likes of Banjo-Kazooie, which was basically them iterating on Mario 64.

We did 2hr @caneandrinse.com podcast discussion on it, back in 2017: caneandrinse.com/blast-corps/

A reminder that if you support the show for just $2 per month, you can listen to all the games we have coming up on the podcast in 2026!
As the book closes on Volume 14, what better time to reveal what we have in store for Volume 15?

We forgo the usual format for this monthly, to discuss what games we're covering over the next twelve months.*

Support Cane and Rinse for just $2 per month and find out what's in store.

Happy 2026!
