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 haven’t had a computer that can run the MacOS version in a very long time.

Wouldn’t that be cool! 😉 But I’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.
