After watching some gameplay of Turrican[0], which came out in 1990, I'm convinced it is heavily inspired by the NES Contra (1987).

Turrican being a robot, and the developer being from Germany leads me to believe it may have been inspired by NES Probotector[1] rather than Contra. PS, watching that now I know the struggle of 50hz gamers playing slow games was real... yikes.
