As there seems to be a demand for MSX2 games and the lack of a competition for MSX2 (or higher) games. I would like to see if it is possible to start a competition for it.
Yes I am dead serious.
I am willing to provide hosting + domain name registration for the competition. But perhaps there are other options.
Rules:
- Create a game/application that runs on any existing MSX configuration (MSX, MSX2, MSX2+ or MSX turboR).
- Only DSK (1 or more) or ROM (common mappers as in MSXdev) formats are allowed. (It is allowed to have multiple disks for a game).
- All existing MSX hardware can be used.
- All games should come with an English manual (extra other languages are optional)
- No code plagiarism (using standard code like re-players/compression etc are allowed).
- It is allowed to re-use/rip music and or graphics from other (commercial) games but will result in a penalty.
- It is allowed to use programs like yoshida konzern, dante or gamebuilder to create your game.
- A jury (minimal 3 persons but hopefully more) will be judging the entries.
- Prizes are collected using an open donation format (Paypal)

Heck, I've an unused G9k lying here, let's make Aleste 3 with multilayers and lots o' sprites. It's so easy to say 'in our scene we have the talent to make an RPG, we have the designers and the musicians and the coders to make an RPG, ergo: we shall wish for an RPG'. But something like that is a large scale project, and there's the poo in the pool. But meanwhile, yea I want those big games too, like anyone else..
