Protovision is proud to present Sam's Journey from Knights of Bytes, probably the most ambitioned platform game for the Commodore 64 of all time!

Although Sam is quite small, he can run very fast and jump even higher. That's why the camera has to hurry up and keep track, no matter where he's going!

Sam has a variety of basic moves. While running and jumping are obvious skills, his ability to climb makes him able to reach new heights. And with his free diving skill, he can explore the underwater passages of the deep sea.

The world of Sam's Journey is not only a visual one. Every scenery that Sam traverses on his journey comes with its own unique song that emphasizes the location's atmosphere.

This game is fully compatible to THEC64 mini.

Best and most comprehensive game of its kind. For those who don't know it yet, here is our review, gameplay & detailed interview with programmer "Chester Kollschen" (Knights of Bytes) in German. English subtitles should also be available. 🙂

I've bought this game directly on the Protovision website a while ago. And as it's already mentioned many, many times: This game is simply marvelous!

in a few words the best c64 platform game by far, I mean it!!! 10/10 in graphics, animation,  sound Fx, catchy background music, pixel art, and playability superb... so fun to play with,  you won't find a game like this, just advice, you better get a box version, worth every dollar, this jewel deserves to have a physical copy!!! go for it!!... BTW I´m waiting for another outstanding new game from you guys!!
