Thanks! Itโ€™s actually one of the shared sprite colours so they all change when the player enters a cave. So itโ€™s not perfect but works well enough.

Thanks for the feedback. The scrolling only works for 1px movement at a time but the speed works for the style of gameplay.

Thanks Vinny! To make another FREEZE64 cover would be amazing! ๐Ÿ˜„

This tracks with the studies that tend to show that compulsory voting (like we have in Australia) would generally push results to the left.

Turrican II was a favourite on both C64 and Amiga. In 1993 I was still hugely into gaming on my Amiga, and knew about Mega Turrican on the Mega Drive, but never knew this came out for the Amiga. Pre internet days!

Thanks for sharing Mike! So cool to see this since I havenโ€™t had a computer that can run the MacOS version in a very long time.

Let me know if you want me to send you my snowboarding game, Slope Rider.

Wouldnโ€™t that be cool! ๐Ÿ˜‰ But Iโ€™m just focussed on the digital release for now.

Definitely! The first 2 episodes are an epic start. It has slowed down a bit since then but the tension is building nicely.

I've been watching Alien: Earth. It's been nice to see this guy from Turrican II get a supporting role.

I realised after I made this that itโ€™s like a role reversal of Impossible Mission. I wasnโ€™t thinking of it when I came up with the concept, but it was probably in my subconscious. ๐Ÿ˜…

The grey on them could be any of the C64 colours. They do actually look a bit muddy on this background so I might change that. The brown and white are shared by all the sprites.
