When I was a little boy in the 80's I used to own an MSX computer and a thick book that teaches you to make MSX games on BASIC. In this book there were LOTS OF awesome GAMES made on BASIC for MSX with their complete source code. Does anyone know where I can find this PDF file? It was in the 80's so it must be hard to find, thanks in advance.

I doubt these are available in PDF format, and if they are it's probably not quite legal to distribute them (then again the same goes for almost all MSX software that's found on the net). I think your best chances are looking at retro gaming sites or Ebay or something, where these should be available for a few dollars.

There are lots of books with BASIC listings. Do you know how it looked like, in what language it was, etc. Maybe we can find which book you are talking about. I own a few of those books, but most of them are dutch.

What are the odds that the games of those listings can be downloaded? In similar fashion, games from MCM listings are also mostly available here and there.

Try to look for books written by Albert Sickler.
