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

It's been a minute between updates on infeZtation 2 (aka infe2tation). I've designed the first 10 levels, added lots of info to the HUD (graphically it's WIP), power ups, scoring, some more enemy types, lots of bug fixes. Development is going well, lots more to do! #c64 #commodore64 #8bit #retrogame

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.

Somehow looks like more. Excellent stuff!

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.
