Slotman has found a japanese utility called Magical Producer IV that enables you to model 3D graphics on your MSX computer. To make it even more interesting, there also is a stripped BASIC 3D-modeller. Yes, you read it right the first time. A 3D-modeller programmed in BASIC. ON the site you will also find a game (SSW) that uses graphics created with Magical Producer IV.

Well Ali Baba had them forty thieves / Scheherezad-ie had a thousand tales / But master you in luck 'cause up your sleeves / You got a brand of magic never fails / You got some power in your corner now / Some heavy ammunition in your camp / You got some punch, pizzazz, yahoo and how / See all you gotta do is rub that lamp / And I'll say / Mister Aladdin, sir / What will your pleasure be?
