Got this fan release today. The game Illusion City for the MSX Turbo-R. One of the very few games for that system. Made by legendary developer Microcabin. Now fully translated! Boxes and put on a cartridge by Outer Heaven. Loving it 🤩 #msx #msxturbor #fanrelease

On days like these it is a real privilege to work in The Hague University. In the morning we had student Teams pitching their games for the GameLab. In the afternoon playtests of various games. Awesome to see all that talent & creativity!

Had the privilege to talk at the HKU last week. Topics were the @dutchgamesassociation.nl and OSM. It was a lot of fun! HKU produced a lot of successful game devs over the years.

Latest addition to my ever expanding MSX collection. A Japan Victor Company (JVC). With its metallic case and luxury keyboard it is simply awesome!

Almost time for #msx2goto40

MSX2 is 40 years old this year! To celebrate this, there will be an amazing event in Amsterdam: MSX2GOTO40. If you've ever owned an MSX, then this is for you! With (Japanese!) guests, games, music and hardware.

It is selling out soon, but there are still a few tickets left.

Ok, I realize that OSM is not mine anymore... Lots of things have changed (or didn't change enough) since I sold it. But still, seeing that it is no. 3 mobile sports game after behemoths like EA makes me smile 😎😬👏🏼⚽

A new MSX2+ machine for my collection: the Panasonic A1-FX.
It's just a beautiful piece of late '80s tech and design, from Japan of course. 🤩

Don't Panic.

For the Dutchies among us: it's holiday season. Read this book: SCOREN!

It's an honest story about a game studio that started from an attic room and through stumbling, falling and getting up again, finally made an exit.

Buy it at Bol or Amazon or ask for it in your local bookstore.

This Sony HB-F5 is the latest addition to my MSX collection. A Japanese MSX2 with a gorgeous keyboard. It is unremarkable in every other way, but I just love the design.

I received this gem today. The final edition of a disk magazine. The legendary Future Disk for MSX: the longest running disk magazine for any system, ever. Loving it! 🤩💾

I'll be speaking at Cloud Day 2025! It's a home match at the KNVB Campus, right in the heart of Dutch football. Looking forward to it!

Packed! 🚀 It was the first time the showcase floor was almost empty. Heard a lot of good things about the talk as well, so you definately nailed it (again).

INDIGO '25 has come to a close. It was an amazing edition of an amazing event.

A ton of kudos to two people that made this all possible: Martine Spaans and Geoff van den Ouden. 🙏🙏
