Better get ready, because Klaus Lee - Thunderballs is coming soon on GOG!

If you’re in a retro mood, this ‘80s inspired reimagined classic 2D action-platformer will be the right title for you. Klaus Lee - Thunderballs will give you a deep dive into a neon-hued brash, as no one else but Klaus Lee – who once was about to become a private investigator in Hawaii, but got bored of waiting for the recruitment results and came back to California. There, he worked as an unknown stuntman while running a squad of troubleshooters that kept getting beaten to the clients by a much more successful Team. Now the time has come, to dust off your jetpack, grab dynamite and prepare laser eyes, and dive into Klaus' first challenging adventure!

Soon on GOG!

I'll be surprised if the children don't make them remove "Kraut" from the description.

Reminds me of Exolon from the ZX Spectrum...

I've got more of a H.E.R.O. vibe but we all have different history ;)

Not up to speed on the current degree of "clown worldery" nor do I want to be - is Kraut considered a derogative discriminatory term now as well?

Ah!, yeah, I can see the similarities. Though I've never played H.E.R.O myself.

It has always been a derogative term by definition, but noone would talk about it seriously in this thread if it wasn't for you guys "bringing your politics into everything" and then acting as if it's other "clowns'" fault.

Doesn't hurt to remind the clowns and thus hopefully keep them in check and from doing something really stupid, once in a while.

It has been for over 100 years.

Vaguely reminds me of Kid Chameleon for some reason. Makes me wish that game was on GOG. Oh well...

The fact that somehow it didn't even register as such in my mind until now speaks for itself.
Complete non-issue, let's keep it that way.

That was my first thought as well.

I'm getting more of a Rick Dangerous vibe.

As far as I know Kraut isn't just derogatory but insulting.

It's definitely more H.E.R.O. than Rick Dangerous but the game does seem to borrow from more than one inspiration.
