Games that the MSX should have:

That "doom" for spectrum is very, very poor. I got that demo, and it's not near a finished game (lacks decent collision, no enemies, etc)

And remember, Spectrum video is faster than MSX1 or MSX2 video. We would need at least ADVRAM for that

As for MSX games, I couldnt care less about RPGs - there are tons already. Same for shooters or tetris clones.

I agree, platform games (like Vampire Killer, the Cure, Contra, etc) are nice, and there are few games for MSX in that style (specially MSX2).

Some classics from other machines could be ported to MSX2, just choose the one you like

I'm doing my part, this month I should release Atomix and Carmen San Diego (finally!) for MSX... both have temp pages (with screens) on my site.

If I get more free time - I just won a gaming festival with my PC game "Virtual Marbles" (Bola de Gude in portuguese) and I am veeeeeeeery busy right now with it - I'm certainly doing more stuff this year

I thought msx had faster video than spectrum.!!!

I insist with AD&D from itellivision:
It is by far simpler than Rouge/Angband but keeps the basic idea of hunt/explore/be hunted

A very addictive game, relative simple to develop, that can be improved in graphic and music even on msx1 and become a new supergame...

A little bit like the game Intruder I did here

but with AD&D environment and real dungeons, objects to be collected, hints on monsters lurking in the shadows, limited ammos etc etc..

Maybe Slotman could port Spectrum´s

Spectrum port is ok, as long as we can have PSG music (I prefer that lovely Commodore tune) and sound effects instead of BEEP. Thought use of sprites could be nice! ;)

In this game you are having a nightmare and you find yourself in your own house, except you are very small, even ordinary table is taller than you! You have to find the key to your alarm clock and wind it to make you wake up and go to work in time! What a Wonderful plot! :) You can even see YOURSELF sleeping in your bedroom....!

And here´s some Commodore screenshots, it´s exactly same as Spectrum original, except it uses sprites and there´s lovely and unforgettable SID theme music in Title screens and in demo mode. Spectrum has TWO different versions, both are same game, but title screen theme is different, first one plays popcorn and second version plays same tune as Commodore. (thought SID tune is much nicer to ears, of course:P)

well, at least two MSX´ers know Fred. That´s a good start!

So now it´s time to make decent MSX version of FRED!

Or do I have to dig my Commodore 64 which is hidden under all kind of junk to play Fred? I am not sure if I have C64 Fred cassette anymore thought....

Wanna play FRED on MSX!!
