Hi Sarah,
I hope you’re doing okay. Compliments on your ZX Next project, it sounds really exciting! I just wanted to check gently: did my messages through Messenger and the website form reach you? No rush at all, I just wanted to make sure they went through.

Take care,
Davide

My deepest condolences, Sarah

It definitely needs and update and your graphics are gorgeous as always. I’m more of a fan of the sequel actually, that one is on my shortlist

Another fun-packed issue of FREEZE64 is on its way.
Featuring a whole-host of new & exclusive #Commodore64 #C64 content from its dedicated team.

Awesome! He did one hell of a job with Smash TV!

Rare back issues of FREEZE64 1 to 21 are now back in stock for a limited time.
Once these are gone, I doubt there will be another reprint.

In a few instances, there are only 4 copies left of certain issues!

🍉🍩 Which Bubble Bobble giant bonus is your fave?
The C64 had only 2: Watermelon & Éclair. In our remaster we could swap them! Which 2 would YOU pick?

It's indeed very faithful! Only a few bugs and other minor issues let it down slightly gameplay-wise.

💛 The original background was already a solid piece of work for the time — hats off to the original artist! I’ve tried to push things further and bring it closer to the arcade feel, from the perspective of a hardcore fan! #c64 #toki #commodore64 #retrogames

Cool! I too loved that game, too bad nobody acquired the license to make home computer versions

Kick & Run? Did you make sprites for a possible Mexico ‘86 conversion ?

Thanks, that is exactly how it is. In trying to replicate the look and feel of the arcade, the color choices and their placement come first, then the finer details

I'm proud to show the complete remake of #Toki Level 1! From the lush mountain scenery to the iconic ground pattern and vine tangles, everything has been reworked to stay true to the arcade original. #c64 #commodore64 @everythingc64.itch.io @indieretronews.bsky.social @c64reloaded.bsky.social

Lo and behold, the renewed seabed is now blue just like the arcade! I also finally got to swap in the new bullets Toki spits,nice and round just like the arcade, already look tons better then the weirdly rhomboidal Ocean version. #toki #remaster #c64 #commodore64 #RetroGame

I like my Toki colorful 🤓

More Toki is always great news! What machine are you coding it for?

Considering the 256-character limit and just 91 unique 2x2 tiles (all used!), fitting in the mountain backdrop, extra details, and more color variety was a real challenge… but totally worth it! 😃 Check out the before & after and let me know what you think! ⬇️🔥

🎉 Toki C64 Remastered - Level 1: Before & After! 🎉 Almost 26 months have passed since the project began, and after countless studies and mockups here's Level 1 finally! It turned out better than I ever hoped! #c64 #commodore64 #toki #retrogaming
@everythingc64.itch.io @indieretronews.bsky.social

🤞Here's how the SECRET ROOM is going to look like in #bubblebobble remastered for #c64! No room for extra details, like the secret code, unfortunately, as the number of characters has to be the same as the OG! #commodore64 #taito #arcade #RetroGame
