Yab yum

I don't think it was commercial.
The whole game just breathes puberty.
The developer calls himself "children's teacher/psychologist" at the intro screen, and it states that it's "suitable for children from 8 years".

Regarding this - in a while a nice surprise for fans of this game.

Possibly it will have a 2-player mode

I just don't want to know about that mode...

I don't think Yab Yum is that bad as a game at all. Sure, it's really childish but the gameplay is equally as good as (or bad as) several commercial titles at the time. Anyone ever looked into the code to see if it was made by someone capable or if iwas just pure luck?

Since the game is from 1985, I guess the guy must have known something about essential MSX architecture, since not much was known then in those days.
What I do know is that he must have been a child at heart. Well, don't we all try to be?

Ah, an MSX2 version. I waited 21 years for that, the version I had always crashed an MSX2. Now, where is the :wanking: smiley?
Actually, the original version was a little bit wrong for not working on most MSX2 machines.
This one is a little bit wrong for not working an any MSX1 machine.

BTW, IIRC it did work on my VG-8235 and on my home-built MSX2+.

Yes, a :wank: smiley would be in order.

please, make 2p competitive and cooperative modes
yab-yum is one of the greatest games ever made, a masterpiece.
Would you like to develop levels for this version?

Have you downloaded the disk?

If you did, then press [ENTER] when you see the guys are wanking.
You will get in BASIC prompt.
RUN "YYEDIT"
You will see a beta version of the editor.

[SPACE] = always confirm
[ENTER] = always cancel when in a submenu, when editing always CELLS/OBJCT menu
"C" = [C]opy (copy cell to cursor location)
"D" = [D]eclare (does not work yet! Is for objects)
"B" = shortcut to [B]ump map
"Q" = clean [Q]uit - warning: program will not ask you to confirm yet, it'll just go to BASIC prompt!

First, you can go to the -SYS- menu with [F-4] and load the mapset to see/edit the level used in this version.
The game will automatically use your edited & saved version when you run it again (simply [CTRL]+[STOP], then RUN "YYENG" or just reset).

Caution: CELLS menu works perfectly but OBJCT menu not working yet! Just hit [ENTER] to exit. Always works.
Also, [F-5] to quit doesn't work for now, you can just press "Q" or do [CTRL]+[STOP].

Would you want to make some levels for it? I'll keep you in mind if you want to.
