Argus is now available at Psytronik.
The game has an interesting design and user interface as you step through a fake 3D world.
Sadly, the collectable items are not explained in the manual.

Also available now is the brilliant C16 & C64 game Slipstream.
It also introduced new boxes from Psytronik – now they also have fully printed carboard boxes.

The Galaga style C64 shooter Galencia will be available within the next weeks.

Everything is ready, but we are still waiting for the boxes to arrive, before we can make Galencia available to you.

We expect them to arrive in two weeks.
Galencia will be available on disk, cartridge and cassette!

The time has come: Sam’s Journey can be
ordered from the Protovision Shop!

Sam will NOT be shipped right away, though.

We are currently finalizing the game and are collecting funds to produce all Sams needed.
Sam’s Journey will be shipped in December (exact date is not yet defined).

The download versions of Sam will be made available at the same time as the physical versions ship out.

Everyone who orders a physical release of Sam also receives the digital versions.

Please understand that due to the high amount of orders, shipping out all Sams will take weeks.

Those who pre-registered Sam will be treated with priority and will receive an additional email with information on how to complete the order.

Thalamus plant eine Reihe von neun C64-Spielen innerhalb ihrer neuen REMASTERED-EDITION-Serie.

Das erste Spiel dieser Serie ist eine stark überarbeitete Version von Hunter’s Moon mit verbesserter Spielmechanik und neuen Leveln, um nur einige der vielen Veränderungen zu nennen.

Besonders cool an dieser Kampagne ist, dass Größen wie Martin Walker, Robin Levy, Steve Day, Steve Thompson, Oliver Frey und Matt Gray mit an Bord sind. Matt wird tatsächliche neue C64-Musik komponieren, wenn das entsprechende Stretch-Goal erreicht wird!!

Darüber hinaus ist Protovision an diesem Projekt beteiligt.

Auch komplett neue Titel wie Creatures 3 könnten eines Tages Realität werden.
Aber all das hängt vom Erfolg der aktuellen Kickstarter-Kampagne ab.

Also: zeige Thalamus, dass wir bereit sind für neue gute Spiele und unterstütze dieses außerordentliche Kickstarter-Projekt!

Thalamus is planning a number of new C64 game releases within its new REMASTERED EDITION series.

The first game is a strongly improved version of Hunter’s Moon with gameplay tweaks and more levels, among other things.

Extremely cool in this Kickstarter campaign is the involvement of e.g. Martin Walker, Robin Levy, Steve Day, Steve Thompson, Oliver Frey and Matt Gray, who will compose new C64 music if the related stretch goal is reached!!

Also Protovision is involved in the project.

Later on, completely new titles like Creatures 3 might become reality.
But all of this is only going to happen if the initial Kickstarter project is successful.

So, show Thalamus that we are ready and willing to take them back and
support this amazing Kickstarter campaign now!

After carefully considering all feedback that we received about the planned Sam’s Journey auction, we have decided to dismiss the auction idea and instead allow for payed orders of the upcoming C64 game Sam’s Journey right away.

That means: Sam can be ordered starting in October and will be shipped in December!

Also on the 1st of October, the full contents of the Sam box package will be revealed.

Thank you to all who have offered to send us their payment in advance! You are all our heroes as this helps us very much to produce enough Sams so we can deliver quickly to everyone in December.

At the time of delivery, also the download version of Sam will be made available (all physical editions of Sam include also the digital distribution).
If you have a pre-registration of Sam, we will send you a dedicated email in October with instructions on completing your order.

Here you are with the revised timeline for the release of Sam’s Journey:

• 30 September 2017: pre-registration phase ends
• 1 October 2017: Sam can be ordered in the Protovision shop
• December 2017 (exact date to be announced): Sam will be shipped out / Downloads will be made available

Please bear in mind that shipment will take a while with the exceptional high number of orders.
Those who have a pre-registration of Sam’s Journey will be handled with priority when it comes to shipping out Sam.

Besides Sam’s Journey and Galencia, we plan to release more games on cartridge, including re-releases of existing titles. The first game to also come on our new standard cartridge is going to be It’s Magic 2. The highscore is saved on the cartridge.

As well, It’s Magic 2 will now receive the boxed release it had always deserved!

Our first Commodore64 coop game compo with Forum64 is starting well. We have 13 teams participating already, including enthusi/Veto (known from Caren and the Tangled Tentacles), Zaadii (Hack Attack), Endurion (e.g. Soulless, Guns’n’Ghosts, Awakening), M.J.

Anyway, we still want more participants! Sign up NOW until October and win hundreds of Euros with your C64 sports game!
…and two more reasons to sign up:

1. We allow also games without a single player mode now (But they will receive a 35% penalty)!
2. We are giving away a C64 Reloaded Board (MK1) to the compo winner!

Sign up on the game competition pages.

Sam is getting closer to a release.
However we have to master a few more challenges before we can ship it out.

One of these challenges is producing and financing about 700 Sams upfront – because that costs far more than 10.000 Euros!

Protovision doesn’t have that money… this is one of the reasons why we have decided to release Sam in multiple phases:

• the current pre-registration phase ends end of September
• from 1st of October to end of October we’ll run an auction for the lowest serial numbers of Sam (more on that in a separate post)
• from 1st of November we’ll open a possibility to preorder Sam in the shop – this time including payment.
• in December (we don’t have an exact date yet) we will ship Sam. Auction winners and users with a pre-registration will be handled with priority.

Please understand that the shipping of Sam’s Journey will take weeks given the high order numbers.

UPDATE 12.09.2017 Auction dropped In favor of Early Ordering!
Read more on Facebook.

Multiple Sam’s Journey enthusiasts have contacted us and asked if it were possible to get a Sam with a low serial number.

Actually, we did not intend to attach serial numbers to Sam at all, but now we will give the first 64 Sams a serial number and auction them to the highest bidders.

This way, everyone has the same chances for obtaining a Sam with a low serial number – or you can stay out of it entirely and buy a regular Sam without any serial number.
