The Pushover EP is an EP/Mini-Album from Australian singer-songwriter Lisa Miller. It was released in Australia in 2004 and features five live performances from the artist's Australian tour in support of Neil Young in 2003.
Pushover is a platform puzzle game developed by Red Rat Software and published by Ocean Software in for the Amiga, Atari ST, DOS and Super NES. The game was sponsored by Smiths' British snack Quavers (now owned by Walkers), and the plot revolves around the then Quavers mascot 'Colin Curly' losing his Quavers packets down a giant ant hill. The player is tasked with controlling 'G.I. Ant', a large soldier ant, to recover the Quavers by solving a series of puzzles. The SNES version lacks the Quavers branding, and instead the aim is to recover bundles of cash dropped down the ant hill by Captain Rat.
