Manbow2 preview on MySpace

Games & Demos - Manbow2 preview on MySpace

 Monday, December 18, 2006 - 23:13
 Submitted by: snout
 Topic: Games & Demos
 
On MySpace we ran into a profile dedicated to the upcoming MSX game Manbow2. On the profile you can listen to two songs from the game and look at a new video that reveals the high level of quality and gameplay this Space Manbow fangame has to offer. This highly promising shooter, the first project of main programmer Norakomi, is scheduled to be released in 2007.

Nice, any more levels?
By snout on December 19 2006, 00:47
Looking at the movie title, there's at least 9 levels in the game. There just aren't videos of it yet... which is a good thing if you ask me... you don't want to know the entire game before you actually start playing it on your MSX, right?

I like the change in music when going under "water".
By FiXato on December 19 2006, 01:05
That movie looks awesome!


*is sure to buy a copy once it is released!*
By snout on December 19 2006, 01:17
Indeed, the music is timed perfectly! I also liked the 'fly in the dark' effect as demoed on Bussum 2k6... stunning! I think it's fair to say this is going to be one of the best homebrew MSX games ever.
By manuel on December 19 2006, 09:59
Yup, this is one of the highest profile homebrew games I've ever seen on MSX. And the best thing: looks like it's going to get finished (now that is really new!).
By Grauw on December 19 2006, 10:47
Hmmm… ‘homebrew’? That sounds too console-ish! I’m used to calling it amateur games, or just games, I don’t think there is precedent in the MSX-world for the term ‘homebrew’. Especially in the context of MSX, where there are no commercial releases (as opposed to homebrew), nor is it a commercial-only platform like the consoles, I don’t think we should call it that . For PC-games that different terminology isn’t used either…

Maybe I should start an “association against the term ‘homebrew’ applied to software for the MSX” .

Amazing video! Give time to Norakomi and the rest of team to make the best Shoot'em Up game ever released for MSX!

And please, do not forget to create great artwork! (cover, manual, disks labels and box).
By Randam on December 19 2006, 16:29
Great demo! And great art on the MySpace page. Nice idea to use MySpace as well. Perhaps this will give you even more feedback than just from people on MRC.

* Me looking forward to 2007 for SM2 *
By spl on December 19 2006, 17:10
Absolutelly great! Sure I will buy a copy of this game

PS: What is this avatar?

RNFF == Running Naked in a Field of Flowers... ask J-War
By manuel on December 19 2006, 18:45
I used homebrew, because it can directly be compared to one of the greatest (commercial) MSX games on MSX ever: Space Manbow.

But OK: amateur if you wish
By wolf_ on December 19 2006, 18:47
What about 'scenegame'? that sounds far more rebelish
By GhostwriterP on December 19 2006, 19:45
Yeah nice movie, and although it still a bit blurry very nice sprite gfx
By Patsie on December 20 2006, 21:26
all I can say... wow!... this is one fabulous title. I'm sure to buy a copy. I'd love to have it on cartridge if that would be a feature.
By dvik on December 20 2006, 21:28
Yeah, simply amazing

Is it possible to manufacture new SCC carts? I would definately buy one.
By SaebaMSX on December 20 2006, 22:58
This game will be sold as cartridge (with SCC) afaik.

Btw, this game is on the cover of call MSX number 7.

Well, I've just written here since I wanted to put these smileys...!!!
By poke-1,170 on December 21 2006, 13:00
big thumbs up for the music !!!!!!
By Grauw on December 22 2006, 10:43
wolf_: scene is good too, yeah, definitely .
By Huey on December 22 2006, 11:23
Everything with 'brew' in it sounds good to me
