Psytronik Software has exciting news for fans of the Steel Ranger cartridge! The physical editions have officially landed, and shipments are set to begin next week. For those who haven’t placed a pre-order yet—good news! There’s still time to grab one of the most polished C64 games ever made, now in glorious cartridge form.
The Steel Ranger cartridge edition isn’t just a pretty package. It now includes blazing-fast level loading and the ability to save your progress directly to the cartridge. That’s right—no more fiddling with floppies or losing your hard-earned progress.
Two Collector Options Available
There are two physical editions for players to choose from, both offering something special:
- Basic Box Edition
A streamlined option that includes the game on cartridge, a printed manual, and a sleek collector’s box. Ideal for those who want the essentials, fast. - Ultimate Collector’s Edition
This is where things get deluxe. You’ll get the Steel Ranger cartridge, a glossy collector’s box, soundtrack CD, printed manual, A4 art card, map, poster, Steel Ranger keyring, badge, and stickers. Basically, everything short of an actual exosuit.
Why This Release Matters
This release is a major milestone for Psytronik and a treat for Commodore 64 fans. Steel Ranger has already earned praise for its tight gameplay, atmospheric design, and slick presentation. Now, with the cartridge, players get the definitive version—faster, more convenient, and dressed to impress.
