Weird thing... As I'm 26 years now I shouldn't have missed out on too much of the action. But for some reason Hotel Pre-Parties are totally unknown for me. Guess I was just a couple of years behind. Should have been a couple of years older

Nah anywayz, most memorized moments for me are the nights before fairs. Being around 11, 12, 13 lying in bed next to a huge pile of disks to be sold next day Too anxious to sleep at all. And ofcourse the numerous times Sunrise published some demo, intro, menu or whatever I participated in was really giving me the kicks...

Ah those times

hmm, I guess I was born in the wrong time as well...
(though with last Tilburg, the MAF had a very small pre-tilbeurs night as well )

Basically all MSX music is nostalgia too. Still play a lot of 'm on the synth. I recently got this ~ afaik unreleased ~ replayer which can play all original MSX FM classics (T&E soft/Falcom/MicroCabin/TechnoSoft/Telenet Japan/etc.). Wow... was I feelin' *good* when I heard all these songs again!

Also Konami Sound System (kss.exe) really helps bringing back those memories. Salamander certainly was the toughest, but coolest shooter available for MSX 1. Spent many days playing it. F1-Spirit is another great MSX 1 title I played a lot.

When MSX 2 came around, I played Metal Gear and Usas. But also other classics like Super Runner (anyone remembers that beauty?). I bought my own MSX 2 pretty late. Early 90's. Before that I was a lame VG-8010 user with only 32kB on-board. Thank god they invented those ROM packs aka cartridges. (As a matter of fact: that's why original games rock!!! They always work.)

But the best thing about MSX is that it makes you want to know more about it. It makes you curious... It tickles your creativity. I know other systems can do that too. But those always turn you down. Your MSX doesn't.

They finally gave up giving therapy, due to the fact of memory leak and unfolding of follies of history. So what happened? No-one really knows, 'till this day his where abouts are still a mistery to all of us. Some signs are pointing at the northpoll, while other stories include the transending to hell's deepest woods where the head's eye meets a dark horizon .. Sensing no time.

All remains is the evidence of yesterday, which we all know as "the Savage's travels" put together as a farewell and goodbye to this cruel world. Now in bookstores all over the great glope...

May god give him the rest he was always searching for.
it's a fuzzy world after all!

Let me translate this ro-text to English: "I don't know, I think I should call him one day"

not untill I get my wonder-bra back first!

fuzz

the holy trinity

wolf, friend.
(also a fuzz member, nuff said!)

check it out, I got my holy machine digged up and working again (except the crummy diskdrive grr), and assembled FUBSY again.. gheh, it still works, I still have it. hihi.
If I dont get a real job soon, I might be forced to get coding again. Damn, there goes my night-rest....

whohey... FUBSY, tho not finished by far, had/has the potential to become a great platform game!

Aye lad, what've you to say 'bout finishing ye olde game, replace ye olde music with new opl4 tunes and release it @ tilbeurs?

Wow, don't get me started on nostalgia!! Okay, please do get me started...

My father, my brother and me have visited the fair in Tilburg for 7 years (I guess). I'm now 22, so back in the glorious MSX days I must have been like 14-15 or so. I remember the smell of soup at the entrance of the fair I remember the "Broodje Frikandel"! (which is quite unusual for us, Belgians!). I remember seeing the faces behind great names such as Koen Dols, Pat Smeets, Cas Cremers, Peter Meulendijks, ...
I vividly remember the fair where Umax introduced Pumpkin Adventure II, which was a kick-ass RPG. I remember buying Moonblaster 1.4... I remember buying Space Manbow. I remember buying a crappy Afterburner rip-off (which had a nice box, though!). I remember the time Engine brought a synthesizer. I remember being suprised seeing Blade Lords! I remember the one time we ( KENDA) had a booth. You could here our music from the other end of the hall! We selled over 30 copies of Music Maniac 2, which was pretty good. We bought a memory mapper with the money I remember a friend, talking in the car about a game in which enemies would spot you if you smoke I remember teaming up with Datax to create Track (Hèt diskmagazine van Nederland!), I remember the first time I started Moonblaster: I made a song in like 15 minutes. In the holidays, I remember playing PA 2 & 3 and The Witch's Revenge with my brother from 9 AM till 10 PM, non-stop! I vividly remember how scared I was when I had to fight the eight demon in Maze of Galious (the crab-dude, i was like 10 years back then and I was REALLY scared). MoG still has this kind of mysterious thing that will never ever let me go!
I remember the arriving of the MC(C)M. Me and my brother (and this is really true) just lay in front of the mailbox at the front door, waiting for the mailguy to arrive!! We always had a fight who could read the magazine first. I remember the one time my dad punished me by saying that I could not go to Tilburg (it was the only thing he could really punish me with and he knew it!). I remember cursing over Xanadu, because I almost reached the end but found I had too much KRM points and found no way to decrease them all!!!
I remember SO much...
The MSX is truelly great!

Wow, wish I had a memory like that ^^;

i was to young to really remember the fairs but i know i have been to all zandvoort fairs thx to my dad i know that i played soccer at the time and came directly after the game to the "pelikaan" then walked to front of the huge line and got inside before it started. i also remember that scouts from wolvega helped my dad with the first msx fairs and they had to sleep in my room and the dinners after the fair with the fair crew.

and offcourse the last tilburg fair i also had an night before something also with 75% of the MAF crew that where present on the fair (4 on fair).
