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

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

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?

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
