The MSX-BASIC 2012 Contest organized by Konamito.com provides us a fifth and last finished game !

Resurection is an action game, created by Dakar Soft, a Spanish team who invites us to contribute to the MSX revival by becoming the best vendor of MSX products and this way provoke a new MSX supremacy.

This game is released in CAS and DSK versions. However, the DSK is not clean (useless files, traces of erased files) and does not run the game automatically. Here’s the procedure to fix that before creating the ROM version :
- extract all the files with Disk Manager
- create a new blank DSK image with Disk Manager
- transfer on the DSK image the files in the following order : RESDSK.BAS – ROOM – COLOR – PANBIN – RESURT.BAS (the RES1.BAS, RES2.BAS, RES3.BAS and RES4.BAS files are not required for the DSK version)
- rename RESDSK.BAS as AUTOEXEC.BAS
- use DSK2ROM with the parameters -fc 1 to create the ROM version (mapper : Konami SCC)

Alicia is an adventure game in text mode, created by José Soto Gandara (joesg), a Spanish coder who has tried to summarize the Lewis Carroll book in an original game, divided into 5 parts with a password at the end of a part to get access to next part.

This game is released under the form of 5 CAS files. Here’s how to create the DSK and ROM versions :
- download the .zip file
- unzip it
- create a blank DSK image with Disk Manager
- insert the DSK file in the virtual A drive of blueMSX
- insert the Carga1.cas file in the virtual tape port of blueMSX
- launch blueMSX (MSX1, 2 or 2+ machine) and press CTRL while booting
- enter LOAD”CAS:”
- replace RUN on line 1990 by RUN”ALICE2.BAS”
- save the file on DSK by SAVE “AUTOEXEC.BAS”
- insert the Carga2.cas file in the virtual tape port of blueMSX
- enter LOAD”CAS:”
- replace RUN on line 1260 by RUN”ALICE3.BAS”
- save the file on DSK by SAVE “ALICE2.BAS”
- insert the Carga3.cas file in the virtual tape port of blueMSX
- enter LOAD”CAS:”
- replace RUN on line 1300 by RUN”ALICE4.BAS”
- save the file on DSK by SAVE “ALICE3.BAS”
- insert the Carga4.cas file in the virtual tape port of blueMSX
- enter LOAD”CAS:”
- replace RUN on line 1300 by RUN”ALICE5.BAS”
- save the file on DSK by SAVE “ALICE4.BAS”
- insert the Carga5.cas file in the virtual tape port of blueMSX
- enter LOAD”CAS:”
- save the file on DSK by SAVE “ALICE5.BAS”
- use DSK2ROM with the parameters -fc 1 to create the ROM version (mapper : Konami SCC)

Firefighter is another puzzle-game, created by the Spanish coder Pentacour, who challenges us in 15 still more difficult levels where a fireman needs to connect first correctly the pipes before getting water to the hose and being able to put out the fire. Your time is limited, an option “Continue” is available but you will lose points if you need to use it.

This game is provided in CAS format and the ASCII version of the BAS file is also available. Here’s the good procedure to create the DSK and ROM versions :
- create a blank DSK image with Disk Manager
- insert the DSK file in the virtual A drive of blueMSX
- insert the CAS file in the virtual tape port of blueMSX
- launch blueMSX (MSX1, 2 or 2+ machine) and press CTRL while booting
- enter LOAD”CAS:”
- save the file normally on DSK by SAVE “FIREFIGH.BAS”
- create an AUTOEXEC.BAS to launch FIREFIGH.BAS
- close blueMSX
- use ROM Creator to transform FIREFIGH.BAS into FIREFIGH.ROM
