The Commodore 64 Games System (C64GS) has just turned 35, and Stuff.tv is marking the occasion with a retrospective article looking back at the short-lived console and six notable cartridge titles that help define it.

Among the games highlighted is our latest release, Yeti Mountain! Its inclusion underlines how contemporary homebrew titles continue the cartridge-based spirit of the C64GS, delivering deep gameplay, atmosphere and technical quality on original hardware.

The article also reinforces what today’s C64 scene already knows: while the C64GS itself was a commercial misstep, the idea behind it — high-quality, pick-up-and-play cartridge games — lives on through modern releases.

Yeti Mountain and other Protovision titles are available in our shop in physical form, offering a true cartridge experience for real hardware enthusiasts.

Read the article on Stuff.tv and explore our current Protovision catalogue to see how the legacy of C64 cartridge gaming continues today.

The expedition is officially underway. Yeti Mountain has arrived in a physical cartridge release, bringing this icy Commodore 64 adventure to life in true collector style. Yeti Mountain is a mixed genre game with RPG, platform action and of course ski elements and has become a true masterpiece.

Set high in frozen peaks where danger lurks behind every snowdrift, Yeti Mountain challenges players to survive hostile terrain, unpredictable hazards, and a mysterious creature said to roam the mountains. Precision controls, tense gameplay, and atmospheric presentation make this a standout modern C64 release.

This physical edition is perfect for those who prefer to experience new C64 titles the way they were meant to be played — on original hardware, from cartridge, without compromises. Secure your copy now and prepare for a perilous journey into the frozen unknown.

Reports have emerged of a mysterious wild beast roaming the icy slopes of Yeti Mountain over the winter months. Locals claim to have heard thunderous footsteps in the snow and glimpsed a hulking silhouette moving between the peaks.

Authorities urge all adventurers, hikers, and Commodore 64 explorers to exercise extreme caution — the creature is said to be faster and fiercer than expected.

A full physical expedition kit — also known as the Yeti Mountain physical release — is being finalised now. Brave souls will be able to secure their copy soon.

Yeti Mountain is our Gold Cartridge release for 2024 and we are pleased to announce that we have opened pre-orders for this limited edition.

Dust off your ski equipment and your investigative skills as you head off on a multi-genre gaming adventure to find the truth behind the mysterious disappearance of your best friend from Yeti Mountain. Is the dangerous natural terrain to blame or is there something else lurking in the shadows?

To be eligible to order this special edition, you must be a Protovision supporter via Patreon, Tipeee or the Protopad campaign or you purchased more than 250 Euros of items from the Protovision Shop.

Pre-orders for the regular edition of Yeti Mountain will be announced in the next few months.

A new version release of Yeti Mountain is now available. This update introduces a ‚Reset Stage‘ option at all save checkpoints that will allow you reset the countdown timer without restarting the game all over again. This option will be useful for those of you who find that you have saved your game with very little time left on the countdown timer.

For stage 1, resetting your progress means that your timer will be reinstated to 60 minutes but you will lose any clues you have collected and any items found after interrogating the key witness (you keep all other items and your ski completions are retained).

For stage 2, resetting your progress means that your timer will be reinstated to 60 minutes but all stage 2 progress will be lost (this allows you to play through stage 2 again without having to complete stage 1).

If you wish to retain your save progress from the original release version, please make sure to save that progress to disk and then load up that disk save using the new release build.

To download the new version of Yeti Mountain, simply use the download link you were provided when you made your purchase of the game.
