Release id #161041 : Sam's Journey +D
Well, in quick testing with an reu-less NTSC machine, it seems to playtest just fine on the first few screens, save for a few small occasional screen scroll glitches that aren't a hinderence to gameplay. So, I'm wondering why the REU is needed for the NTSC machine, and what areas of the PAL version of the game are completely unplayable on NTSC? |

That is perhaps a question for the game makers, and not the crackers? There is a different set of disks for the ntsc guys at least. |

I wanted to buy the original and support the developers and the retro scene in general, but I saw that insane prize so I skipped.
Game of the decade or not, fantastic gameplay or not, do whatever you want with your money but no way I'm gonna spend as much as I spent for winter games in 1988 30yrs later... Assassin Creed would cost 5K EUR if comparing. feel free to disagree. |

There are no downloads because:
Commercial game - support the developers!
Compared to most other games that are not ??
I guess piracy has left the scene =) |

It's just a half-assed protection on CSDb's accountability. Those who want to support the game and get a nice collector's version with the box, the cartridge, the tidbits and the goodies, will buy the game. Whilst those who don't give a fuck, just want to check out game's look&feel first hand and then forget it for good, or think that the price is unreasonably high, will get the game from other sources anyway. I strongly doubt that a condescending remark instead of a download link will convince the latter ones to buy the game.
Can't agree more with ZeSmasher. I'd be more than willing/happy to give a few bucks for the legal digital copy of the game in a "pay as much you feel the stuff worths" purchase system.
But this way, I'll just pirate it, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks the same. |

I pre ordered the game right at the start. I didn't even get my download link so far. I got my down load "elsewhere". i played the game and was abit disappointed. i am no hardened gamer so I was stuck on the 2nd screen. I retried about 4 or 5 times and gave up. quite alot of money for so little entertainment. |

I can understand both sides.
There´re so much new things for the 64 - no matter if soft- or hardware - like ever.
Let´s reward it. |

You have to log in to Protovisions site to get the download link.
And of course they can take whatever price they want, they own the game, regardless of your views. And you guys can download it from the boards or get a link, or the files from someone. I think it's worth it. I bought the cartridge, as I am collecting these games. They spent a lot of time making this game, and what they make on it can never pay for what that time was worth. Go Protovision! |

dont be silly.
as for the download link IMHO csdb should do two things: a) all and every entry must have a download link, no exceptions b) whipe all the firstrelease nonsense from csdb completely and add the entries only 6 months or so after release. all problems solved. |

ZeSmasher: There's also digital download of Sam's Journey at much lower price if you're such a thrifter :P |
