A Turrican II conversion sold under a film-license name.
Universal Soldier on the Genesis is a rebranded console conversion of Turrican II, made by The Code Monkeys for Accolade and released in North America in November 1992 and in Europe in 1992. This is an unlicensed cart, made without Sega's licence. The Genesis and Game Boy versions were the ones Accolade released in both regions.
Mean Machines previewed it in 1992 as based on the forthcoming action movie.
What the press said at the time
“War is tiring, and so is this game. Video game veterans may find there’s enough exploring to keep them active as a Universal Soldier for at least a couple of tours of duty.”
Before you buy
The North American and European carts usually cost about the same. Loose carts sit below the middle of the unlicensed pack.
