@RetroRising64 It's a beautiful place. Probably the reason why the hero of our next game chose it as his home! 🙂

[Knights of Bytes @knightsofbytes]

Looks like a beautiful day! 🙂

@RetroRising64 It's a very simple hardware interface that might introduce an interesting feature to C64 gaming.

[Knights of Bytes @knightsofbytes]

New toy arrived from the hardware manufacturer. Can't wait to play with it! 🤩

@mrcelidora Congrats! 😃 Only the bravest make it to the 100% in the Sam's Journey Season Special!

@DanielM68134970 This beautiful pixel artwork is done by John Henderson, and it's indeed part of something we're working on. 🙂

[Knights of Bytes @knightsofbytes]

We just adopted a hare! 🤩

@onrotation @Protovision64 Looks like one. Either a good paint job, or it's one of those brand-new C64 replacement cases that were available in different colors.

Sam's Journey and many other great #C64 games can be played at #gamescom 2025 at the stand of @Protovision64! 😃

@PixelProspector @MMSequelWars @morphcat @DavideBottino Thanks for endorsing our work! 😃👍

Found on an old 5.25" disk: a Knights of Bytes logo draft from the early 90s. Isn't it charming? Maybe we should use it one day... #c64 #retrogaming #pixelart

Missed the first batch of Sam's Journey on the #NES? Sebastian Bach of @polyplay_xyz just set up a campaign at Indiegogo to collect funds for a second run! 😃

@jrmarcano @CptSparky360 Oh wow, yours might even be a so-called "old" NTSC C64 which has less CPU cycles available per frame than the "common" NTSC C64.

[Knights of Bytes @knightsofbytes]

@CptSparky360 @jrmarcano You may just have played the PAL version of Sam's Journey, that doesn't need a REU, on a PAL machine! 🙂

[Knights of Bytes @knightsofbytes]

@jrmarcano As many modern C64 reimplementations, such as the Ultimate 64, support an onboard REU that doesn't block the expansion port, it may make all the more sense to consider that solution.

[Knights of Bytes @knightsofbytes]

@jrmarcano Do you know if it's possible to enable both a REU and another cartridge image in KKF2 at the same time? If so, we could consider creating a REU-powered NTSC cartridge image version of Sam's Journey for this very usecase.

[Knights of Bytes @knightsofbytes]

@TherealSven2 Thanks for supporting what we do! 😃👍
