MSXdev’13 : Shmup! announced !
A third game announced for the MSXdev’13 contest : Shmup! is a mysterious game developed by Imanok, the MSXdev’10 winner, a talentuous Spanish coder with always some kind of Japanese touch in his products. Well, the game is not so mysterious as the title refers to a specific kind of games : vertical shooters. I can also presume that it is inspired by the corresponding Flash game, that you can play online at different locations on the net !


The first screenshot is based on the teasing picture provided by the coder, the second screenshot comes from the Flash game.
MSXdev’13 : Gommy announced !
A second game announced for the MSXdev’13 contest : Gommy is an action game where the hero must defend a medieval castle from an army of hostile attackers. As for Teodoro No Sabe Volar (Teodoro Can’t Fly), it’s developed by Dimension Z, the MSXdev’12 winner in collaboration with the Retroworks team, who had created the concept on ZX Spectrum, but there’s also a third partner for the graphics : nenefranz, the MSXdev’11 winner with Zombie Incident !


A release on cartridge is also planned in the future. It will include additionnal graphics that have been removed, as the limitation to a 16 Kb ROM does not allow to add them in the version submitted to the contest (check the ‘Gommy – more screenshots’ page).
MSXdev’13 : Malaika announced !
A first game announced for the MSXdev’13 contest : Malaika is a mysterious game from which only the logo has been revealed by RELEVO Videogames, the talentuous Spanish team who will again surprise us with a high-quality experience. If we refer to games of the Karoshi area, Malaika Prehistoric Quest (released for MSXdev’06) and Malaika Sky Ride (announced in 2008, but unreleased), we can guess that it will be a platform game, but maybe we are wrong !


The first screenshot has actually been made by inserting the Malaika logo on the modified screen of another RELEVO Videogames product : British Bob, released for MSXdev’09; the second screenshot comes from Malaika Prehistoric Quest.
MSXdev’11 : Zombie Incident 1.2
UPDATE 18/05/13 : Version 1.2 updated with bugfixes in relation with remarks made on the MSX Resource Center
Do you remember Zombie Incident ? This astonishing platform game who was the winner of the MSXdev’11 contest ? Developed by nenefranz, John Hassink and Sun, it needed some improvements and bugfixes to be perfect, it’s now the case after more than one year. But if you like it very much, I’m pretty sure you’ll run to the download page and play again this great game !


You are in a castle where evil reigns in all its dark corners. So, your mission is very clear : eliminate all these zombies who are menacing the existence of the human beings ! At the same time you must recover eight golden stars that are located in this infested citadel. Be careful of course in your exploration with amazing jumps !

MSX-BASIC 2012 Contest results : Resurection is the winner !

A contest ends always with a big winner. As for the 2011 edition, the jury was composed by the coders who had submitted a game to this cool contest, organized for the 5th time by our Spanish friends of Konamito. The results are known since 21 March 2013, but I had forgotten to give here the info. Better late than never ! The winner is Dakar Soft with his amazing simulation game, Resurection, that will maybe incite to build the MSX3 of which you are still dreaming !
All the others developers who have contributed to this challenge deserve also your attention. More important than all, the MSX community can enjoy 5 brand new games ! More games, more fun , that’s also the spirit of this competition !!!
