To Commodore 64/Amiga kids of the 80s & 90s, the Turrican series needs no introduction; neither should the amazingly well crafted 'Hurrican', made by a fan collective called 'Poke53280', which came out in 2007.

Poke53280 released the source code for the game several years ago; & someone made a SDL2 port shortly afterwards. I remember getting & compiling it; & it played just as well as it did on windows xp.



I later lost that drive; & didn't know where to get the source all over again.
But future generations need not suffer any such hardship, because the game is now out on flatpak!

The original Poke53280 website is long gone, but here's a wayback machine snapshot (in German) from around the time when the game came out: https://web.archive.org/web/20070626045107/http://www.poke53280.de/artikel/index.php?artcat=0

The folks on lemon64 were very impressed by it: https://www.lemon64.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=23618
