On
March 13th Eduardo Robsy Petrus opened the MSXdev'03 competition. With this competition he celebrated the 20th anniversary of MSX and he challenged people to develop one or more games for the computer on which it all began: A genuine MSX1 with 16kB RAM and 16kB VRAM.
Many people accepted the challenge, but only little succeeded. This resulted in a change of plans. Instead of a tough competition with interesting prizes the main objective became to get new MSX1 games released. Today, the results were put online on
Robsy's website: three new MSX1 games.
Penguin Race by Alfonso D.C. is an original betting game. Three penguins are racing against each other, which one will win? Place your bets (of course in fish) and see if it's your lucky day.
Teki Paki by WYZ is based on the arcade game with the same name. It has similarities with Tetris and Columns, but it's a lot more difficult.
Finally, Guru Logic is an MSX1 conversion of the addictive puzzle game
Aiky released in 2001 for
Gameboy Advance. Please note that this is not the Guru Logic that was announced in ASCII MSX Magazine 2, on which we reported earlier in our MSX resource Center goes Japan
