`09.Dec.2023`	Platform game: Capitan Trueno 1.2 "El Capitán Trueno" is a video game for 8-bit systems that was released in 1989 and is based on the comics of the same name that were published between 1956 and 1968. The Amiga port of the game was created using the RedPill game construction kit and requires at least a 68020 processor and 2 MB RAM (YouTube video).
