Lykia – work on update completed

We are pleased to announce that the work on adjusting Lykia to work with our new cartridge design has been completed and we are ready to start producing the gold editions of the game. We expect to be able to start shipping these carts out to customers in 3 weeks. The duplication of Lykia standard carts will commence once we receive our large order of our brand new PCBs from our supplier. #c64

We are just about there! We have commenced duplication of the gold carts for A Pig Quest and we will start to ship these out to customers in 2 to 3 weeks.

A couple of months ago, I was contacted by my former editor Martyn Carroll to speak about my time at the magazine #RetroGamer and in issue 257 we have the results of that Q&A session. Check out my @Protovision t-shirt in that mug shot.

We are very pleased to announce the next Protovision game - watch out for the story driven, multi-genre Yeti Mountain!

This full scale #C64 game is Russel Mills' debut title and it turned out wonderful!

Set for release in January 2024.

I never thought that this would happen. On the famous Lemon64.com there is a new top game by votes, and well deserved.

Now I'm imagining if something like Sam's Journey was released with the #Commodore #C64 GameSystem

LYKIA / A PIG QUEST - CART UPDATE

Due to their size, Lykia and A Pig Quest will be presented on a new cartridge design that we are currently developing. This process has been slow as we have run into issues with the original PCB prototype not being compliant with EU laws and then the revised prototypes being held up in customs for over 3 months. The good news is that we have recently received the revised PCB boards and our tests have only uncovered minor issues that we don’t expect to impact the design much. We will conduct further tests to be on the safe side.

Unfortunately, additional supply issues will impact the shipping time frame for both A Pig Quest and Lykia. Our box inlay producer has entered into bankruptcy and our box manufacturer has given notice that they will cease production very soon. We are in the process of finding alternate suppliers that can deliver the quality packaging that Protovision products are well known for.

We will provide further updates as they come to hand.
