easy, terramex 
Yeah, I never thought it would be that easy. Please don't say you googled for it 
Anyway, you're up next.
nope,not at all
remembered the advertisement in MSX magazine (nice one too !)
Okay,which game features a pig with a frying pan as the main character? (dunno if this is an easy one...probably)

I guess it's time for a hint: there's an MSX1 and and MSX2 version. I can't tell you the difference between the two, since I've only seen and played the MSX2 version
I know nothing about those filters stuff... but with the hint you've given (and looking at it again) I'd say it's 'The Last Mission'...
I'd say it's 'The Last Mission'...
It is!
For info: the filters used were 'Map > Fractal Trace' (which gives really wicked distortion effects
) and 'Edge-Detect > LaPlace', as andete already observed.
Imanok's next...
