Quasar Special
Contents |
Introduction
Diskmagazine released in November/December 1991 by MSX Club Gouda and the FCS team.
It was provided for free to the disk subscribers of MSX Club Magazine 38.
Tips:
- the intro starts with a black screen, press F6, then F5 to access the bad Jack's BASIC
- the 'Christmas' Jake part is preceded by a hardware report without title
This edition comes with musics in the FAC Soundtracker 2 format used in the Jake part and the magazine part. When both MSX-AUDIO and MSX-MUSIC soundchips are present, MSX-AUDIO is automatically selected.

Important!
- The JACK.001, JACK.002 and JACK.003 files need to be adapted (the header is missing)
- You need to modify the names to use the correct extensions (MUS/SM1/SM2), it is also recommended to specify the name of the drumkit (without the extension) in the MUS file.
