Awesome thread, thanks for the info Gorath!
I've also still got the Great Giana Sisters on C64…although I wouldn't necessarily call it one of my favourites, but my sister and I definitely had fun trying to beat it as kids. The music for it (and also quite a few remixes) still bring back great emotions. Both Instant Remedy and Machinae Supremacy did brilliant renditions of the main theme and in different styles (Ibiza style dance and rock respectively…)
I never really played Turrican 2 - but enjoy that soundtrack as well. My favourite Chris Huelsbeck stuff though is probably from R-Type and the first Turrican.

Don't know the original game, so my opinion is only based of what I've seen so far from their pitch. I like the graphics, I think they are above Indie average and well made, especially the transformation between light and dark world. I also like the music and how it shifts smoothly from retro to metal and back. I'd say well done. But it's not my genre, so I probably won't play it.

Just wanted to add that I saw today "The Rise Of The Owlverlord" in an retail shop today … 
It was bundled with the "Meat Boy" game - and the package sais that only the "Meat Boy" game needed Steam …

You can get both Giana games via GoG.com. I'll warn those reading though, they're among the hardest platformers I've ever played. And two of the very few I have gotten stuck on. Very good games, but not for everyone.

They are going to release an "jump and run racing game" soon - built upon the current game / engine.
What I mean is what the Steam version already has as a patch, but it will be an full-fledged game with multiplayer.
I could've played it at the RPC, but decided against it, because I'm unfamiliar with controllers others than keyboard & mice.

The levels are the same, but the rest has been overhauled. What you see in this video is basically what I called "the steam patch".
The new game made out of it has a differrent title screen, different characters - ninja look, for example ! - and … well, it looks (at least to me) "fresher".
Edit : I've been digging out this : http://www.xboxtavern.com/giana-sist…s-on-xbox-one/
And yes, the new game called "Dream Runners" is multi-platform.
Edit : German web page about it : http://www.ps4news.de/news/entwickle…atformer-43300
The video there is in English language. (Huge accents, though !)
