This seems to be a 1 megabit cartridge for MSX home computers.
When digging for information about the MSX slot configurations I found this page that has some nice pictures of MSX stuff for Korean machines:
Zemmix
Their even have a picture of the Super Boy III box !

Does anyone know if this cartridge is something that could worth finding? This seems to have nice graphics for a MSX1 home system ...

I have that game, in Spain... I have never played to it, since I bought it from Germany but it was sent to Spain (don't ask why). I will play that game by Christmas...

Like its predecessors, Zemina's Super Boy 3 is basically a rip-o... eh, tribute to Super Mario Bros.
Only without the going down pipes thing.

While Super Boy 1 & 2 were very much like SMB, this game seems to have gotten more developer attention on original aspects.

What they added, next to a little more imaginative graphics, is that some question mark boxes fly and you have to collect some face kind of things.
What misses is a lot I'd say. At least they included the throwing of fire this time. A feature which SB 1 & 2 didn't have.

Gameplay is s.l.o.o.o.w.

The graphics are decent, but the music is lame, except for the boss tune perhaps.

Didn't really bother to beat the game. Smile
