And with Cube Droid Holiday Special, that's 4 of my #MSX games released on cartridge!
Had some more fun playing with retroachievements.org/ but the biggest gripe is that I have to play in an emulator and I miss my joystick!
But I found this adapter in a drawer which serves pretty well to make my trusty 80's joystick talk USB. Just one fire-button though... 🤔

Just found out my Cube Droid are on this site that adds achievements to retro games, including #MSX games! It works by having the emulator watch specific memory addresses and overlay unlocked achievements on screen. Such a great idea!

This is the official OST for the Parodius arcade game. I hear some similarities between this and the MSX version, but it's not the same music.
The eyepatch of the penguin is actually painted on the outside of the jewel case. When you pull the booklet out, he's got no patch! 😅

I really love this Gao figurine that #MSX gamers know from the Firebird (Hi no Tori) game. He's only got one arm, but that's how he's supposed to be in the game too. (Those who've seen the movie know that his arm count is going to change soon. 😱)
Took me forever to find one!

The SD Snatcher box is such an iconic #MSX release, I wanted to give it some love.
The original box art is from Naoki Satoh and I added a little AI trickery and some modelling and animation with Blender. Hope you like the result!

Just received the Philips edition ( NMS 8962 ) of Hydelide 1 for #MSX 2 in the mail. Afaik, there's no cartridge release for this game, only disk and cassette (!)
The Philips edition also comes with five languages in the manual.

Picked up Los Amores de Brunilda this weekend at the RetroAlacant fair. A really beautiful game which is _still_ on my list to be completed one day 😅
Beautiful music and graphics and top notch coding by Fernando - Highly recommended!

Several ROM versions exist of #MSX Yie Ar Kung-Fu. In my collection it’s simple however: The serious cover is the tough game, the comic cover is the super easy one! 😅

Long time since I bought an orange Konami #MSX game, but this one looked surprisingly good for the price. Will make for an excellent upgrade! 🥷

Really can't play "Ikari" without having a peek at the 8 spots in VRAM that store the "clean" space under each of the moving enemy troops. (I placed them at the top of the game for your viewing pleasure)
Somehow I always find this mesmerizing 😅

Cube Droid Holiday Special got a physical release at GOTO40 and was sold out within minutes! Thanks!
Only 25 were made and each cartridge is numbered.
I attached some bells to the case and the manual came written inside a Christmas card to get into the spirit 🎄

ROOM5 got a physical release on GOTO40 as well. A really nice package ( look at that hotel room card! 😍 ).
Played a couple of levels. It starts very easy and gets more difficult further on. Will try and find time to finish this one! #MSX

Listening to Das Boot on OPL4, one of many awesome tunes from the Cerius "disk" that I grabbed on #MSX GOTO40.
Thanks to Omega for making this fantastic collection!

Suddenly, I've got a closet for my games! And he who has a closet also has a door for hanging up posters!
Shame my Pampas poster got a bit wrinkled after being rolled up for so long. Maybe it needs a bit of ironing, but for now, it'll do!
