Well, first off Dan, what you really need is a *GOOD* joystick! With
Turrican, a good joystick will make all the difference!!! Second,
Turrinan does let you continue games, but puts you back at the first
part of each level. The game is easy enough as it is, if it allowed
you to continue where you died, it'd be too easy (especially when you
take into account all of the free lives the game gives you).
