Turrican!

Mmm? What's that? Hatari - atari emulator running Turrican II on 770? Yes, that's what it is :-) Runs fine but yeah ... controls are a bit sucky... you cannot really play it since it's fast paced especially on later levels. (hatari was ported to 770 by my workmate Eero)

Turrican II has been my favourite shootemup for a long time. It has very cool weapons and graphics. Especially I liked the amiga version (haha this could be actually a nice opportunity to start new flamewar between amiga and atari again ...), all true Turrican fans should also remember that there's a new one, T3 released 28 August 2004 for Commodore 64 by Smash Designs ... http://noname.c64.org/csdb/release/?id=14321

I will ask him when he is planning to go for it, you can find hatari emu at

http://hatari.sourceforge.net/
. Eero has made some modifications so that it's more usable with 770 but I believe no debian package yet.
