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.
Grab your copies from:
freeze64.com/issues-1-12/
freeze64.com/issues-13-24/
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?

Thank you, glad to know!!😃

FREEZE64 issue 10, released in August 2017, is now back in stock after an absence of 4 years.
It reveals the early creation of FREEZE64 and how I put each issue together. Plus - part 1 of our Andrew Braybrook interview

A BIG THANK YOU 😊🙏 to our lovely Subscribers, Readers and the #Commodore64 Community for supporting our humble, little #C64 zine. The two new issues have been a smash hit! Keep on supporting and sharing 😊❤️

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 🤓
