Today we received yet another entry to the MRC Snowfall Challenge. This one is created by a new dutch group called DarkStone. This demo was created in BASIC and si accompanied by a nice Moonsound song.
Joram van Hartingsveldt (ntfaDaedalus) has just sent us an entry for the MRC Snowfall Challenge. This time, the entry is coded in BASIC. The nice snow effect is accompanied by some Moonsound songs created in Moonblaster Wave. At boot, the demo randomly selects one out of four songs.
SCR2GRP
Ricardo Bittencourt sent us a little tool for addition to our downloads database. SCR2GRP can convert Spectrum graphics (.SCR) to MSX format (.GRP). It comes with an MS-DOS executable, but should be easy to port to other Operating Systems as well. The C source code is included.
Several bugs in the game Guru Logic for MSX1, released as part of the MSXDev'03 results were fixed today.
- It's now possible to play beyond level 4
- Changed and recoded the password system
- Remapped the rotate buttons for the joystick
Once again, please note that this entertaining MSX1 game is not the Guru Logic for MS

Happy 2004!
Time flies when you're having fun. A year ago we had just launched our new website, and ASCII MSX Magazine 1, the first step of the MSX Revival, had just hit the streets. On our website, the amount of visitors was increasing steadily and people even started to use our forums. And, was it just us, or were the MSX hardware and software developers getting more active again?
MNBIOS website updated
Yesterday we reported about the official MNBIOS website. Today this website got a huge update. The information on the website is now available in English and Spanish. A FAQ, News and Download section were added as well.
On the official MSX Magazine 2 website a small photo report on the MSX Magazine Matsuri, which was held November 30th, was posted.
We have just added the eleventh entry to the downloads database. And, this is a very special one as it is a complete game! Vincent van Dam, developer of fMSX-SDL, created an MSX1 game for two players. The objective of the game is to reach the top of the mountain before the other player does.
2003 - Downloads top 25
Ever since we introduced our freeware downloads database, we have been posting top 10 charts every month. As we are approaching the end of the year, we thought it would be nice to do a bit more than that. So here it is, the 2003 downloads top 25. Not only do we list more files, we also give some extra information on each file this time.
