Capitan Sevilla
Computer Emu Zone, who just got rewarded the runner-up position in MSXdev'08 have released a remake of Captain 'S'.
It's the first of March, and as announced in the previous poll, we were to do two quick two-week polls instead of the usual monthly poll. Prior to initiating the new poll, let's see what February brought us.

Japanese game developer M-Kai has put his MSX productions on his web site for download recently. One of the games is Pleasure Hearts. Until now that was a very rare side scrolling shoot 'em up game with mindblowing speed, huge numbers of enemies and very nice graphical effects.
M-Kai was also the maker of Kyokugen which also can be downloaded from his site.
