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? |

People who really like to have a collector's version will buy it, no matter if there is a crack available or not. |

I have to agree with Groepaz on this subject. it's expensive for you - don't buy full version now or wait for itch.io or bargains later.
also have to agree on other subjects. I totally don't understand the first releases thing. and the no-download release page at CSDB is totally brain dead idea. Cant you guys wait few months - jeez.
And game itself? Just wow /o\

One thing I noticed in the game is that it does a ldy; lda; sta style colorscreen update, which could be argued to waste 4 cycles per char cell, compared to a straight scroll. Could possibly be interesting for NTSC-fixers to explore. Though likely trying to replace the scroll routine would lead to running out of memory, and the slowdown caused by just too many game objects would persist nevertheless.
But was also pleased to notice that there aren't any super-bad glitches on NTSC, and that the game doesn't intentionally refuse to run. |

it also handles the gmod2 eeprom perfectly - ie its being used when its there and when its not, then the game just keeps working (without saving, of course). meaning it will run just fine as "ocean cartridge". |

I don't play games on c64 since ages, the last one I remember I played was Brubaker because I cracked it and wanted to be sure it worked till the end. I'm also not a collector.
So there's really no interest for me to buy the game or get the pseudocracked version from whatever source. I just wanted to support the guys who still spend their time to develop quality games on c64 in 2017, soon 2018.
Now it's ok for me to spend 0-5 EUR for a budget game, 0-10 EUR on a good game, and 0-15 EUR for the masterpiece. But hey, we are talking about 45 EUR here for the digital version, +10 EUR +shipping costs for a cart/disk version. Doh, I can't tell you if your car is worth 10k, 50k or 100k, but I know the value of a videogame on steam, xbox, google play, etc. so that price is completely absurd for me.
@Grööpaz, this retarded here saved your Xmas from the usual childish introlinking talk: who was first, who has the longest dick, etc. so be thankful instead of complaining! :) |

what saved my Xmas was the legit download, which i was playing before this "crack" even existed.
PS: i dont have a car. and i regard a lot of the crap i have seen on steam as completely worthless dung. each to his own. |

Definitely a much more reasonable price, but this download page is so fucking hidden no one will ever find it. |
