Beyond The Scanlines #061 by hellfire64 explores Commodore 64 games released in the early 2000s, including Jim Slim:

In January, a game bundle from Groupees will be launched including two Protovision titles: Jim Slim and It’s Magic. The bundle consists of multiple games for different retro platforms, including Mega Drive and of course the C64.

Protovision presents their latest C64 game: The Adventures of Jim Slim in Dragonland (aka „Jim Slim“).

As ball Jim it is up to you to retrieve a stolen skull and to save the lovely Candy. This is being done by fighting your way through the colorful mazes. You can move by rolling and jumping – the latter supported by trampoline in some places, and later through a tube system or even via teleporters. Difficulty increases bit by bit with the levels: You need to find matching keys to unlock doors, and to get rid of some opponents with a shot collected earlier.
And of course the clock is ticking all the while.
A saveable highscore list and password system round off this title.

Check out the Jim Slim trailer by Poison!
The trailer competed within the Forever C wild competition and scored 2nd.

More information about Jim Slim is available here.

The full game including box and printed manual is now available via the Protovision Online Shop.
