About Carmen SanDiego games, they first appeared in the ancient times of PC/AT computers, with CGA and 5.25" floppy disks. They were so boring that I have never played them again. Perhaps the concept that they are using nowadays is better...

Kind regards,

P.S: Is there any PIPE MANIA game for the MSX? I know GORBY'S PIPE, but IMHO is not half as good as Tetris or Pipe Mania (Pipe Dream for GameBoy).

... and any version of Mine Sweeper for MSX?

already done!
iirc it can be found on one of the futuredisks.

Ah! I nearly forget: what about a RAMPART version for MSX? It is a really fun game, and so addictive in 2 players game. The best version that I have ever player was the NES one. It was much better that Megadrive or SNES versions.
Any other idea? It's time to port!

How DARE you not mention Quarth!?! It is *the* ultimate action puzzle game for MSX! (in my humble opinion... ).

But heh, I still remember KLAX. I was thrilled when I discovered that we had the very same game they played on TV in B.O.O.S. (I think, with the late Bart 'Boos' de Graaff). I played it a lot, and now I'm looking back at it, it really was a fun game. Heh, who votes for a 3D PS2 version?? Or at least an MSX2 version? Nah, it's all about playability, and that it definately didn't lack, and the graphics in the MSX1 version were quite ok already anyways.

LOL
Go away with your PS2, you addict!

I remember that progam very well I did not have Klax at that time and really wanted it, but couldn't find it anywhere

As for Klax for PS2... Just look for a MSX emulator that works on you PS2 and burn it on a cd along with Klax for msx

Well if you can tell me where to find that msx emulator... ;p

... there are still many puzzle games to be ported to MSX

Also a lot of nice original puzzle/agility games were published in the japanese MSX FAN magazine. There's a whole lot of games available already

I agreed there is a lot of nice puzzle games on MSX-FAN magazine.

There is some on the MSX MAGAZINE too.
Pastel Hope made some fancy stuff for MSX computers!

Quarth for me is a bad luck game

The last title of konami for our beloved machine.Metal gear was done in 1987.Turbo r msx was still present in the 1990+.Imagine what games could those damn konami programers do if they still supported our machines after 1990......

I dont know about the CGA version, but the VGA one, which I played on 486s at the time, I just loved, and it was what motivated me to do it for MSX


I also did Atomix for MSX, another *very* nice puzzle game; and Breakfree, my first Pascal game on MSX

I'm also making "bejeweled/diamond mines" (no site for now) - just need to make the music for this one to be finished...

Ricardo Bittencourt made Tetrinet (multiplayer tetris... only two players on same computer in MSX), very nice also.

One I liked a lot was Quinpl (is that a puzzle game?) and Eggerland Mystery series. Also loved Akanbe Dragon, but according to generation-MSX it's an action game?!

PS: would be cool if people included Gen-MSX links (or link to any screenshot/website) to the games they speak about

About Tetris. Do you agree TetrisII Special Edition from that Italian group.....erhm......forgot their name.....That is the best MSX2 version there is. Because of the cool gfx and even cooler sounds!

Just read this!
The group name is (was ) RAM, and I'm happy to know you like it

unfortunately I lost their 'copyprotection joysting port thingy'

Nowadays both openMsx and blueMsx support T2SE dongle emulation

BTW what would you think if I say puzzle/ability + E3D?
