...from time to time, some thoughts need to get out...Farewell Patrick!
Author: Zeldin - written on 31.12.2014
Axis/Cascade is no more. We are all still shaken by the unexpected death of our friend and group mate Patrick aka Axis/Cascade. We wanted to express our sorrow, so I coded a little intro, which you can find in the C64 demo section of this page. The following text is a rough excerpt taken from the scroller:
Dear Patrick, may this be the condolence from the the group that was co-founded by you long time ago. We want to give you our last salute. I (Zeldin) know how much you were breathing the spirit of the scene. That's why I thought a goodbye demo would have made you happy. You and me exchanged lots of mails about how much we both enjoyed the good ol' days and of course: how much we miss them... It was this tie that emotionally connected us for over 15 years. Thanks for all your help in supporting the group and your indefatigable endeavour in spreading our name. Your tattoos were legendary! Thanks for your work on fb and youtube. Your channels were appreciated by a lot of people. Thanks for being such a good chap. You'll be sorely missed!!!
Mach's gut, Patrick... den Adler im Herzen, sge4ever!

12.09.2025 - Amiga game 'Jurl' released
Jurl is a simple - Asteroids meets Pacman - arena style shooter game where you have to collect all the space diamonds whilst avoiding the various aliens. The game, originally made for Android smartphones, now gets a version for Amiga. This is an early access release, but the game should be fully playable (though there are some issues) and you can get it as digital download for a bargain (name your own price) to support the developer.

10.09.2025 - LISTEN: Reformation 3 Audio Teaser - C64 & Amiga chiptune music - remixed by Matt Gray
With his crowdfunded remix albums "Reformation" and "Reformation 2", Matt Gray created over 75 quality C64 remixes in his meanwhile established style. But the 3rd installment was special: Next to remixing big C64 classic chiptunes, for the first time Matt had been diving into Amiga music, as well. And due to the increasing cost in CD production, the original Reformation 3 crowdfunding campaign was for a "digital only" release! Later, Matt added a higher tier reward for a limited amount of backers who wanted physical CDs. Only a low number of CDs was ever pressed and these were originally only available for the backers of the crowdfunding campaign. Now, Protovision has secured a limited number of these physical CDs, which are now exclusively available for direct ordering via the Protovision webshop.
