PROTOVISION C64 Games

Outrage
OutrageIn the tradition of "Hawkeye", you are steering a hero through a number of platform levels. In a shop you can obtain different weapons. Outrage inspires through colorful graphics and great design.

Outrage was produced by Cosmos Designs for the Boeder Talent Competition in cooperation with the 64'er magazine a long time ago. However, it was not released back then. We in Protovision bought the rights to distribute the game from Bernd Buchegger, who supplied us with the remnants of the game – of course without source codes and with a few bugs and glitches we'd liked to get fixed before a release. However, we were lacking the resources to work on this game, so we were looking for help. Psytronik came along and showed interest in finalizing and distributing the game, but they, too, were facing the same problems as we did. Thanks to everyone involved in this project, we can finally announce that Outrage has been completed!


Features:

  • 5 levels fully packed with finest arcade action (Hawkeye style)
  • Each level with a monstrous end boss
  • A shop to buy ammunition, smartbombs and more
  • Colorful graphics, animations and special effects
  • Beautifully crafted SID in-game music and sfx
  • Title picture from STE'86 (Steve Day)
  • PAL and NTSC compatible

The long lost Run’n’Gun by Cosmos Designs has finally been covered by the well-known Retro Gamer magazine: The latest issue includes an interview with the creator Bernd Buchegger about the making of Outrage in the "Champion Coder" section.
Considering we co-published Outrage together with Psytronik Software at the turn of the year 2020/2021 already, we were not sure if this was still going to happen – until now!

Thanks to the Retro Gamer staff, we are able to provide the article for free at The Outrageous Chronicle.

You can buy Outrage in our Online Shop as a digital download or as a Boxed Edition on cartridge.
