Depends on your needs.
Easyflash and Ocean are pretty similar but with EF you have 1 MB and can page in 16KB at once - might be nice for speedcode etc.
Ocean however can be used with EF cartridges too. Im optimistic that "some people" will implement easyflash into 1541u sooner or later.
With easyflash you can WRITE to it as well and hence store a savegame which renders EotB a complete Plug'n Play experience. You CAN buy EF cartridges but you cant purchase Ocean cartridges.

I'm for the 512KB cartridge too, gives some work for people to put it on disk. ;)

I'm doing Ocean cartridge stuff at the moment. It's easy enough but things that work in VICE don't work on 1541U (at least not in the possibly dodgy firmware I use at the moment). And EasyFlash support should be mostly a simple compile time option.

easyflash is not (yet) supported by 1541u, but ocean is. Supporting Ocean cart gives you a nice big audience, then again ppl can make easyflash for themselves.. I'd go for Ocean though...

On the other hand : the two types share a lot of properties, so it would be easy to make two versions..

Currently working on an iPhone version and one Java-version and they should be finished in some months.

Doing these I've been fully disassembling the original game and only have a some small parts left of the game to understand.

Got new GUI graphics from Mirage for the C64-version. Also Veto is working on the intro graphics.

When the iPhone and Android ports are finished I have all the info I need to start working on the C64-version again. It's kinda hard to experiment and fiddle on the C64, that's why I did the other ports first.

With all that new knowledge about the game I think it'll be hard to fit even on a C128. EasyFlash perhaps? Ocean cart? What do you think?

Coding like hell, don't worry guys.
Once I get new graphics I'll release a new preview. Under the hood tons of stuff has happend. Most major is that it's currently C128 only at the moment. When that version is complete I'll consider a C64 version for cart and/or REU or something like that. Vanilla C64 version is out of the question imo unless you make the graphics totally crappy and not even then it's absolutly sure it's possible.

There are no demo projects rolling at the moment, only this. :)

It's most definetly not dead, I'm just working on a demo right now. There are updates not released, although those updates are of utmost importance you guys won't be able to tell the difference from this version so... ;D

Wow! Just discovered this one. I am a big fan of EOB series. The nice C64 grays goes quite well with this level, the movement speed is ok and I hope I can play oneday too :)

The labyrinth is just too confusing for my humble mind but it looks awesome! Keep up the good work!

Somehow the graphics of this game reminds me of:

The Sandman has Lost my Address

I liked it, although I never gave it more than a seconds go...

reminds me a bit of that Dune2-"preview" :)
Anyway, would be nice to see soemthing 'big' again

Edit: I must say I am impressed knowing why/how it's done now.
So I withdraw my Dune2-scepticism :)

Kind of nice vibe - let's just hope it ends up in something nice aswell. Reminds me a little about that Dungeon Master preview which surfaced some 10 years ago.

The release date was set to december 31, 2007 meaning that it will be released sometime in the future. But after flames from radiantx and iopop I've changed the release date to the today's date.
