With creating this video review he did an excellent job! Not only he captured from a real C64. He also did well in explaining what the strengths of this game are.

Great news for all customers with pending orders of Soul Force. We have received the missing package components from our supplier and will soon start processing these orders as a priority.
We hope to have all orders shipped out over the next couple of weeks.
We have identified a bug on the Icicka stage of Soul Force that appears only on NTSC machines. This bug has been resolved and you can access the Soul Force update via the original download link supplied to you previously.
For those who are still waiting to receive their physical copies of Soul Force – we have had to pause processing your orders as one of our UK based suppliers is currently not in a position to supply us with some of the package components. The supplier will be able to fulfil our order in the upcoming weeks but in the meantime we apologise for the additional delay in getting your physical copies. We will post an update to confirm when we are in a position to process the outstanding orders.
After 18 long months, a new issue of the awesome Reset magazine is finally here. Next to reviews of many other recent C64 games, Kevin Tilley (Unkle K) and Rob Caporetto (Hellfire64) had a look at our Glide ’n‘ Gun Wormhole.
Furthermore, the new Mix-i-Disk features Bucket Wars 1.3 – a great little strategy game by Daniel Hotop (Oziphantom) of Protovision.
The issue also mentions other Protovision titles, such as Neutron (within the RGCD C64 16KB Cartridge Game Development Competition 2019 article) as well as MW Ultra and Soul Force (in the news).
For the cover topic "Train themed games" selected guests were invited to write about their favorite train game, our very own Jakob Voos (Jak T Rip) being among them.

Just before we temporarily closed our Shop to orders of physical items a few days ago, we reached a significant milestone of receiving our 10,000th order since we opened the online shop way back in 2003!

We look forward to serving you in the near future when we fully re-open our store on June 1st, 2021.
Earlier this month, an in-depth article about Outrage by Georg Fuchs (Lord Lotek) had been published via Lotek64 Blog. It just had one flaw: Being in German language only, its audience was limited.
We are happy to announce that an English version has recently been published on the Vandalism News website. Georg translated his article himself, while David Simmons (Jazzcat) took care of the proof reading.
Now, more people get the chance to read this fine review, next to an enlightening interview with Bernd Buchegger (Panther). Outrage: Revenge! Finally.
Enjoy!
It is with regret that we announce that as of 15 February 2021, we will temporarily suspend the placement of orders for physical items (cart/disk games, hardware, cables, etc) via the Protovision Online Shop. Orders already placed by then are unaffected, we are working hard to get all of them delivered soon.
The sustained lockdown stemming from COVID-19 and a couple of other challenges lead to this drastic decision.
But we will be back refreshed and ready to go when we re-open physical orders by 1 June 2021! In the meantime, orders for digital editions of our game library will continue to be available.
Our Run and Gun release Outrage was featured by Lotek64 with a detailed review and an interview with programmer Bernd Buchegger. Issue 62 with the report will only be published in summer. However, you can already read this article in the Lotek64-Blog – Late Revenge: Outrage (C64).
