Group id #223 : Protovision

There are some entries from Protovision that should be deleted from the database.
Those entries are commercial releases (without a downloadlink) and not scenereleases.

Some of them are scenereleases (Operation Wolf cracked by Triad, Rainbow Islands cracked by Ikari+Talent) but some are not.
The only thing incorrect about those scenereleases are the credits; credits for the game are given and not about the crack.

But yes, some of your list can be deleted from the db as well (as for some credited sceners which are actually no sceners but professional gamedevelopers).

This database is too polluted :(

Matt was adding lots of games, game developers & also commercial companies like First Star Software. Most of it got removed but those seems to be have left in. They don't belong here though.

I've deleted everything but Rainbow Islands (someone may want to make a proper release out of it) and Operation Neptun (which I cleaned up to be a proper TRIAD crack). Sorry Matt.

Could somebody review the entries of this company?

There are still a lot of entries that should be removed.
I'm talking about entries of their game-products (without download links) and previews.

Ice Guys <- Ice Guyz
Bomb Mania <- Bomb Mania
CLiPS (beta preview) <- CLiPS Beta Prv.
It's Magic 2 <- It's Magic 2
Team Patrol <- Team Patrol
Hockey Mania <- Hockey Mania

All of the above are "commercial-spots". Screenshot and link to the Protovision homepage, no downloads.
Should be removed imho.

Hockey Mania Preview <- Hockey Mania Prv.
It's Magic <- It's Magic
Pac It Preview <- Pac-It Prv
Pac It Preview #2 <- Pac-It Prv.2

The above entries are all game previews which are downloadable. I personally see no problem with the above.
It's Magic is freeware, so I don't see a problem with that either.

Newcomer <- Newcomer

Newcomer is hard to judge, since it's for free and mainly related to Cinematic Intuitive Dynamix.

I can imagine that the previews are a bit of a gray area.
In case of the PTV previews those are spread (and uploaded here) to get potential buyers of the game. Therefor those are commercial entries.
