A new month, a new overview of our Download Top 10! Which files have been downloaded the most in August?

Puzzle Editor for QBIQS
Z80ST Software is working on a game for MSX1 called QBIQS which is based on Quarth, the well-known puzzle/action game released by Konami for MSX2 and other platforms in the late eighties/early nineties. QBIQS has a smooth scroll, much better than the one of Block Hole, a Quarth clone made by Zemina for MSX1 in 1990.
Now Z80ST Software has released an online Puzzle Editor for QBIQS.
