| Team Patrol finished & homepage moving 31.12.2002 |
Protovision gives you another reason to celebrate the new year by releasing a new game: With Team Patrol the good old moon vehicle sees a comeback. But this time it's not about destroying spaceships but to put up a good race with two or four players on 8 different courses. You need to shake your joystick so the Moon Buggy will accelerate - the more, the better! The game makes use of the 4 player interface by Protovision which was first introduced with "Bomb Mania". People who don't own it yet can order it additionally. If you plug in a SuperCPU, it will be detected and can be used as RamDisc for the game data. Team Patrol will be first shipped in January 2003. Orders are already welcome, email to Jak T Rip. Please help promoting the game using this Banner. Thanks a lot! The Protovision homepage will move to a new provider after 31st December 2002. Because of that, it will not be reachable at the usual address www.protovision-online.de for some time. Please use www.protovision-online.de.vu instead. The protovision-online.de Email addresses will not work during this period either. Please use the alternative addresses. |

| Protovision interviewed by New York Times 29.09.2002 |
Lately, ThunderBlade / Protovision got contacted by the New York Times, as Protovision´s activities around the Commodore 64 cought their attention. They asked questions about all our projects such as WINGS, Metal Dust, the Vision Party and how it comes Protovision is still motivated to develop for the C64. But this extensive interview was not all! A few days later, ThunderBlade was contacted by a photographer. He had been assigned by The New York Times to take some photos of one of Protovisions founders. Due to time pressure this had to be done fast and so the NYT photographer visited ThunderBlade at his work place (QNX Software Systems) for a big photo session. You can read the whole article at the New York Times Website. You have to register to access the article, but it is free of charge. |
