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.

I've been watching Alien: Earth. It's been nice to see this guy from Turrican II get a supporting role.

I realised after I made this that it’s like a role reversal of Impossible Mission. I wasn’t thinking of it when I came up with the concept, but it was probably in my subconscious. 😅
I don't really enjoy making boss fights, so I thought what if instead of boss fights infe2tation has a mini game where you get to play as D3P-UT, your robot sidekick! There'll still be an end boss to finish the game. What do you think?

I've been rewatching The Mandalorian with my son and realised my Infe2tation code could very easily be repurposed for a Mandalorian C64 game. So did a quick mock up.
