Trixter/Nemesiz.tk/Digital Talk has caught the Jim Slim fever: He not only played through the entire game in a short time, no, he has documented this in a great video clip. Those who have long wondered how to master this or that tricky scene, or simply want to relax watching the game, please watch this clip (lasting over an hour):

Issue 58 of the diskmag Vandalism News was released by Onslaught and Wrath Designs at Syntax 2011 in Australia.

Protovision wise you can find the following in this issue’s “Mini-Market” chapter:

Issue 21 of the German print magazine Retro includes a nicely written review of our game Jim Slim. The magazine can be ordered from here.

C64 games are not necessarily the subject of the German language gamers blog truegamer.de.

Nonetheless, blogger Flow has dedicated a retro feature to Protovision under the slogan “The country needs new C64 games”, in which he introduces Protovision and describes some selected games. Thank you for this!

The scene gives us two diskmags released on the same day:

In Scene World #17 the chapter “Game News” features some facts on Protovision’s game projects. However, due to the issue being massively delayed, the chapter’s content is around one year old. Anyway, welcome back, Scene World!

In the Opinion Poll chapters you can read people’s thoughts about the “Gaming Renaissance” on C64.
Last but not least, some Protovision titles are in the Game Charts.

The following magazines contain reviews of our game Jim Slim:
