This year we proudly attend the Gamescom together with our pals from Out of Order Softworks and Knights of Bytes.

The upcoming platformer Sam’s Journey is being featured in a near final version and can be played at our booth.

Of course, The Camp or older titles can be played as well.

Out of Order Softworks will feature an enhanced version of the D42-Adventure System.

We are looking forward to seeing you on the biggest computer games fare in Hall 10.2 in the retro gaming area (in Cologne, August 18-21).

The eighth release of the English language magazine "Reset" has a focus on Adventure games.

We’re featured twice in this particular issue: with D42, and with Heroes & Cowards by Out of Order Softworks.

Heroes & Cowards scored 9 out of 10 points for its great graphics, entertaining story, and its interesting locations and items – and was rated “Reset… RIPPER!”
The catchy soundtrack was popular with the testers as well.

Not to forget the D42-Adventure System that allows you to easily build your own graphical adventure for the C64; programming skills not required. The D42-Adventure System scored 8 out of 10 points in their test.

You’ll find these and many more interesting tests, information and C64 game news in the current issue – get it right here: https://reset64-magazine.itch.io/reset-08

German Pixelnostalgie (Pixelnostalgia) Retro Blog covers the D42-Adventure System in an extensive article called “C64-Spiele aus dem Baukasten” (roughly translates to what you can read in the heading). Author Axel Teichmann puts special focus in the demo adventure contained in the D42-system, which starts with the protagonist waking up completely naked in a bar. What follows, though, gets down to the nitty-gritty, giving the reader a good overview on how a layperson can assemble their first game and which technical possibilties D42 has to offer. A good primer for the subject matter!

Spanish retro-blog “Commodore Plus” has published two extensive reviews of the D42 – Adventure System and Leisure Suit Leo 2. Those of you who know some Spanish might want to have a look. And for those who refuse to learn any foreign languages: There are some photos and screenshots, too. 🙂

Virtual Dimension has once again done some field maintenance with “Vor Ort”, this time on Gamescom 2014. You can watch their entire report on retro computing on YouTube.

Impatient folks can fast forward to minute 10:47 where you can see the D42 Adventure System presented to you by our very own, suit-clad Out of Order expert Volker Rust. You can catch the occasional glimpse at Leisure Suit Leo 2, too.

The last time the folks at Virtual Dimension visited us on the spot was back in 2003 was at Vision Party. Those of you who want to indulge in more memories should stop by our press column and browse through reviews and videos.

Out of Order Softworks and Protovision present the D42 – Adventure System, a construction set which allows any C64 enthusiast to develop sophisticated graphic adventures in the style of Crime Time, Soul Crystal or Leisure Suit Leo 2, without requiring any programming skills.

In it, you’ll find an extensive, high-quality print manual in German language and a classy floppy disk with a transparent cover.
