Mars just pushed the first Domino......
The spanish scene (Karoshi forum) is ever more upset than over here. Rumours are more developers are halting their activities.
I was lucky enough to order Bomb Jack and Majikazo a few days ago. (So the situation that everbody who wanted bought it allready is certainly not true.).
Yeah, I wasn't THAT lucky. I got Goonies'r and Bomb Jack a few months ago (GREAT pieces of software BTW. Really!) and I've been thinking about getting "Majikazo" for a month now. Last week I've even added it and Sonyc to my cart and though: "I'll get it in 10 days, no hurry".
Stupid me, I guess.
Sure you're lucky: now your copies of Goonies and Bomb Jack will worth a lot on ebay See always look at the bright side....

There will probably be re-manufactured copies for it on E-bay.
As vengeance, Kralizec could do a new competition antagonist of msxdev and put in the rules to have the right to publish in HW any game submitted. It could even be a good deal.
I'm not up to date with this recent MSX drama, but I'd like to point out that the first person to blame for this is the one that started wide distribution of the new Goonies ROM dump. Cracking the game is not a complex task once you have that ROM and some debug/cheatmaker tools via emulation.
Also, mars: please stop bragging about it and throwing silly defenses. Be respectful and remove that cheat from your forum ok?
You know what would be useful ? Knowing how many copies of each cartridge game were actually sold. I believe they aren't many so it would motivate people to support it.
Now, don't come to me pointing finger and saying "don't ruin the mood" or "if you can't stick to that moral rule".
Probably I was not 100% clear on that then.. I was pointing the finger towards those who spread such cheats. Names are, by now, well known, I guess.
I bought this Goonies from the MSX Cartridge shop while on a trip to Spain last year. It's a fantastic game, very polished and very fun to play. Indeed a professional work, and a worthy collector's item.
BTW, congrats to the Spanish people: what a great country to visit! Such a rich history, everything is very well conserved and the people were very warm and receptive. Each city I visited was a voyage to the past, full of experiences. Detailed Museums like I wish that every other place I visited could have. I'll certainly come back someday to visit the other regions I couldn't on this 1st trip.
I hope disappear these cheats from MSX Blue site. These threads give me bad taste.
