Old good Hurrican compiled in Fossapup64.
If someone has forgotten, Hurrican is a freeware jump and shoot game that is based on the well known Turrican game series

Run through Menu>>Fun>>Hurrican
And here's the .pet:

PS. 1. You need to install libsdl-mixer1.2 from PPM if you don't have it.
2. The game has an menu option to switch language from english to others, but that does not seem to work. You may just copy the needed language file from /opt/Hurrican/lang to /opt/Hurrican/english.lng and overwrite english.lng

Yes, almost forgotten.
Happy to recover, old style C64 intro with scroll, sprites, and so, followed by colorlines decompression.
Oldtimes revisited.

Thanks.

Any other game like this?

Well, I have a desire to make a collection of classic and not really classic 2D games for Puppy. Such as: Blazing Chrome, Rayman Origins and Legends, Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure, Cave Story, Spelunky, Streets of Rage and in general in that spirit. There should be one shell from which the game should be launched using portable Wine, emulators or just a native Linux game. No, not like in Lutris, but simpler and in Puppy's style. The problem is in copyrights, plus I have most of the games in russian, which is, though large, but not an international language, therefore it is required to return the english language to the games. I have .pets of such games as Braid, Limbo, World of Goo and cool CrossCode but not sure about copyright Personally, I don't care about copyright, but rules are rules.

thanks @Grey added to repo (added pinstall.sh to install missing deps)
