| | | | Wednesday, December 02, 2009 - 00:47 Submitted by: hap Topic: Games & Demos | | The deadline is nigh, wolf_ is stressed due to an empty mouse battery, and discomeats has spilled instant chickensoup everywhere. Just in time, the Infinite way, Dr. Pill concludes MSXdev'09. Yes, that means Yukio's six games didn't make it in time, how unfortunate. Dr. Pill, Infinite's canceled MSXdev' 08 entry, is a very original doctor simulation game, with humorous references to about anything wolf_ and Edwin could come up with, as sadistic as possibly imaginable.

| By dvik on December 02 2009, 05:12 | My favorite  Certainly best music and most original idea, and good gfx as well. Not sure I'll enjoy playing it for that many weeks though...

| By ARTRAG on December 02 2009, 08:22 | Great intro and SCC music!!
As SCC is not in the scoring system I'd say it goes in the msx1+ subcompetition !!
Lovely game, even if too complex for my level of attention (very low ATM).

| By wolf_ on December 02 2009, 11:56 | Hold down F1 during boot for PSG-only music. The SCC versions are uplifted PSG tunes, meaning that the PSG versions are at least decent (no downscaled SCC music).

| By DemonSeed on December 02 2009, 13:01 | How did I start playing this game, intending only to take a sneak peek for the time being to see what is was like because I had to go to sleep, and found out I couldn't quit it before having tortured my patients for about an hour or so ?
Strangely addicting and addictively strange !

Yes. Since you and me are the MSX1+ sub-contest donators, you agree to decide Dr. Pill wins here? If yes, then it's decided. 
I tried all games, none except Dr. Pill have any MSX1+ features. No need for a poll or voting system with only 1 game.

| By manuel on December 02 2009, 21:21 | hap: let's do it anyway, just for the fun of it!
| | |
| By wolf_ on December 02 2009, 21:24 | If this is the only entry .. mm..
He wanted a poll @ MRC, I'm not even sure we can make a poll with 1 option. ^_^
| | |
| By Zezus on December 02 2009, 21:30 | This is the best of the lot. Best music, best graphics, addictive.
Fantastic intro. FANTASTIC. One of the best intros in MSX history ever.
And the idea is a lot of fun. A doctor office simulator without the need of any prior medical knowledge.
No MSX games should be made without Wolf's input.
Congratulations on the team.

| By Edwin on December 02 2009, 21:37 | Possibly there may be zero options for the poll when the game gets disqualified for being a bad influence on the children.
| | |
| By hap on December 02 2009, 22:46 | Hold on, my conclusion was too quick (thanks for the heads up BiFi), so we have:
- Stray Cat: 50/60hz boot option + changes palette
- Menace: 50/60hz boot option + changes palette
- Dr.Pill: 50/60hz boot option + changes palette + SCC music

| By Ivan on December 02 2009, 23:13 | @wolf: Is Dr. Pill a pure text adventure game? I mean if it has scenes between acts/conversations.
| | |
| By wolf_ on December 02 2009, 23:16 | It's completely text/menu driven. Don't expect huge boss monsters, multilayer moving platforms and giant blobs to kill with magic.
I see it a bit as a TV-soap, but then on MSX..
| | |
| By MsxKun on December 03 2009, 00:02 | Cow Abductors has 50/60hz switch and MSX2 palette too 
| | |
| By ARTRAG on December 03 2009, 07:54 | humm...
about the msx1+ sub contest, if all we can have from the other games is an alternative palette, I vote for Dr. Pill. Its scc music is great, about the rest it is up to the jury to decide.
| | |
| By hap on December 03 2009, 10:09 | agreed
| | |
| By Imanok on December 09 2009, 19:03 | What a weird game! 
The game intro is very nice. There must be a lot of work behind all those gfx, visual fx and the great music!!.
About the game itself, really weird as I said, I guess I should have a deep read into the manual to fully enjoy it...
Anyway, I think it is a strong candidate to get the first place in the contest.
