| Also you can't bring MRC to the bathroom. I suppose you can but its not the same thing as bringing a magazine 
|
Love to read in the bathroom? Print the PDF! 
| | |
| By wolf_ on October 19 2007, 20:56 | Or bring the bath to your computer/desk

| By ARTRAG on October 20 2007, 01:00 | I think that screen 4 is underevaluated.
After all, one can move large areas of screen in frame and swap among 8 tile setes just setting a register...
In screen 5 all the VDP possibilities are absorbed by the scrolling...

It would be nice to include the name of the reviewer also in the review itself, in case the reader finds the review directly via a search engine or deep link. Same for the date.

I can't judge the game because I haven't got it yet. It seems an excellent game, though. I hope that Sunrise can process all orders in a reasonable time!

| By norakomi on October 20 2007, 10:55 | Hi All,
cool review,
I'd just like to add two comments for the people who bought the game so far:
1) Thank you !!!
2) for some computers (like turbo R) you might want to put the psg louder, so that you can actually hear the drums and sfx.
this is possible by booting your msx with the manbow2 cart in the slot and holding down F1, as explained in the manual (which is on its way)
| | |
| By Huey on October 20 2007, 11:56 | @norakomi: No, Thank you!
These kind of projects can keep the scene interesting for both developers and gamers.
| | |
| By Ivan on October 20 2007, 12:36 | @norakomi: Thanks for this great game and keep on the good work! I'm pretty sure that now you have other MSX projects in your mind: Metal Fear 3, SD Snitcher 2, Manbow3,...

| By wolf_ on October 20 2007, 12:42 | why don't you do only_69 a favor and make Bastard 2.. this time on 3 disks

That's not true.

Explain to us more!
| | |
| By Guillian on October 20 2007, 16:32 | There is not too much to explain. The cartridge cases have been (newly) produced. So it has no sense to say that is possible to see "stains of labels that were previously there"
Those cartridge cases were produced with a protype mold, so they are not "polished". That's all.
| | |
| By Ivan on October 20 2007, 16:33 | Ok!
| | |
| By msd on October 20 2007, 17:30 | TNI had nothing to do with the game
| | |
| By turbor on October 20 2007, 23:19 | To complement this review:
This picture of the internal of the cartridge ( http://www.msx.org/photo49gal94.html ) shows the flash chip containing both the game and the save data.
| | |
| By cax on October 21 2007, 09:29 | So, does it mean everybody can reflash the contents of manbow cartridge with e.g. MG2:SS ?
| | |
| By Guillian on October 21 2007, 11:59 | It is not possible to reflash the whole cartridge, since part of it is write protected.
| | |

And I prefer it this way. We are buying a game, not a flash cartridge.

Well, yes, I'd like to put in something Easter-ish in my stuff every now and again

Because the cartridge's surface isn't clean, I assumed these were re-used cases. Never thought it would be like that because of a prototype mold. My assumption made sense, but I'll see if I can get it changed.

This is what I know: Bart/RenovatiO started the game, then he became a TNI member (and I believe Manbow2 a TNI/RenovatiO project for a short period of time) and now it's just RenovatiO again. So in the past TNI had something to do with the project, right?
| | |
| By sunrise on October 21 2007, 14:52 | Just Renovatio? And it is now just Norakomi and Sunrise
As regards the cart, I can now imagine the assumption since I had also with me say the leading (example) for cart and yeah that one was
dirt. So you phographed most likely the 'dirt' and saw the good one
| | |
| By Grauw on October 21 2007, 21:17 | Bart is a TNI member and other TNI members have contributed to the project. However, the project is not a TNI project because of copyright concerns. That’s the gist of it.
Also see http://www.tni.nl/info.html for the list of our members.

Then Sunrise should consider selling reflashable SCC cartridges...
| | |
| By sunrise on October 22 2007, 20:58 | Is there interest in Brazil , Russia let me know
| | |
| By Yukio on October 23 2007, 05:59 | About Brazil.
How did you get the SCC to use into the cartridge?
Maybe there would be some persons interested into those cartridges, I think that with a slot expander with switch it could be useful for playing demos and other "homebrew" games. Like the last year entry for the MSX-DEV. Some slot expanders had the option to merge or temporary disable slots. If you add this cartridge into a slot expander with a MegaRAM it would probably play most games.
In my personal case, I am avoiding e-mail and some buys for some time...

| By SaebaMSX on October 26 2007, 00:19 | Where is the "Seek and Destroy" section?
Btw, I've checked the review today (not yet the Spanish version). As I've read, it still says some stuff about the cartridge cases which was not corrected. Maybe the reason is that the scoring (and advantages/disavantages) should be modified? 
Good job with the review! I hope I can check soon if I agree with the comments when I get my own copy!

Both PDFs and web articles are going to be updated very soon with the info provided by Manuel Pazos regarding the cases.Quote:

|
The score is not based on the presentation: it is not going to be modified. The weak point for the case is going to suffer a small update.
