Topic: MSX in the Media

The UK magazine RetroGamer have published a 2-page review on the new retro gaming service WOOMB.net and 5 MSX of the games out of its collection (Aleste 2, DiX, Frantic, Golvellius 2 and Undeadline). You can read the review in PDF format on Bazix' website, in the Bazix in the news section.

The review is more about the games than the service, allthough what's written about it is very positive.

The games generally also got positive reviews (but is Aleste 2 really THAT difficult?), except for Frantic ("a good idea gone bad...much like communism" - ouch!)
It's nice to see the vision of non-MSX'ers on these games. I'm kinda surprised how they like Undeadline better than Aleste 2

Long time ago, when I first played Aleste2, I remember finding it very very difficult as well. Slowly but surely I mastered the game though. I can't say the same about Undeadline though, where for me only finishing the Forest level is quite a breeze.
