Video recording of MGF - The Great Gianna Sisters aka Giana Sisters (1993) - Bugged Hidden Bonus Room of Death (hopes MRC 2k12 will have a video embed tag)

in Stage 29 of aforementioned game there is a bonus room that will instantly kill you if you enter it / fall into it.
I wonder if anyone ever noticed this bug and mentioned it to Sunrise/MGF and what the cause of it is. :)
Not that I demand a patch, but it would be kinda nice to see this fixed. ;-)

Disclaimer: I must admit I never got this far on a real MSX without openMSX's reverse feature, so I can't be 100% certain this is perhaps only happens on an emulator (which I would find strange though..)

haha, can anybody call Jan van Valburg (if i'm not mistaken that was the name of the programmer)
How cool to see my intro logo after so many years in one of the other Gianna youtube movies.
Time to create some cool images soon.

Hello Ro,
I'm was Jan's neighbour back in the days when Jan programmed Gianna Sisters.
We are still very good friends and every once in a while I fly to the UK to visit him (he's living in Manchester since 1996).
I've updated my profile!

Then I'm sure we've met at least once.
I was Jans neighbour in Warfstermolen were his dad is still living, but sometimes in weekends I was at his mom's house in Leeuwarden.
I can still remenber that we used to hang out at Martin and Jannie's house.. Stange but nice couple..
I was quite young at that time (around 14 orso..) so I probably can't remember most people's faces or names..

I recently greeted Martin on the street and he was looking like "who the hell are ye?", hahah. it's been a while since I used hang around their place too. yup, the strangest but nicest ppl around.
Say Hi (from Roman) to Jan when you speak to him.

cheers!
