  1. I got It!!!!!!!. I managed to contact the author of the video. And he agreed to sold me its prototype for a very huge amount of dollard but it worth it!. Apparently only 3 prototypes existed , and only one survived , and i have it!!!. What a christmas!!! . Santa Claus exists!

     

    Now, i'm going to keep it previously!. I will do a video soon to show you!. I'm very proud to have it! It is unbelievable! My first prototype! Nobody else have that game except me!!! :-D

    Congratulations! Your collector's dream has become true ;)


  2. Some years ago I've played The Castle Excellent for MSX complete. :) It's a big game with a hundred of rooms and some puzzles that almost make you crazy.

     

    Of course, I've played saving to cassette (emulated,) but took me several days to figure some solutions (like taking a key and opening a door very far away then getting back with all those enemies). :-o

     

    Indeed the game is slow but there is a key to speed up the game. Everything runs faster even the music. Near the end I was almost crazy not by the puzzles but by the music :-D

     

    A very challenging game. As far as I know The Castle Excellent is the sequel to The Castle.


  3. From the manual of Chess Challenger cartridge I've received today :)

     

    * There are 3 computer levels that you can select by pressing key 1, 2 or 3. Level 1: 2 seconds typical response. Level 2: 15 seconds typical response. Level 3: 135 seconds typical response.

     

    * Press key 9 to toggle two-player mode (P VS P) and player versus computer mode (P VS C)

     

    From what I could see in a fast test, it's a pretty interesting chess program. I played first game distractedly and I've been overcome by the computer. Sounds are a nice touch also.

    You realize nobody has actually ordered yet. We are all on the list and have the best shot of geeting the games but if however many he is making of that cart is gone by the time you reply to his email then you will have missed out until he makes more in a couple of months. Unless this wasn't one of the games that he was doing that with.

    My bad English of course. I'm only secure with Princess Quest because I'm the author. But I guess I'll have to wake up early in Christmas morning for the other games :)


  5. @ retroillucid or coleco_master: I'm interested in Zombie Near, but I have concerns that perhaps one of you can clarify for me. Since the game was made for the MSXdev'10 contest and intended for free distribution, it bothers me that it's being sold and the rom not released for Coleco. I'm sure you've gone about this the right way, so this is where you could satisfy my concerns before I purchase. Was permission obtained from the author (Óscar Toledo Gutiérrez) to sell this? Will the rom be made available in keeping with the original MSX release intent? Thank you in advance for understanding and clarifying.

    Who better than the author to answer this :) that's me.

     

    I've contacted J-F (retroillucid) in order to release Zombie Near for Colecovision in a very much improved version with respect to MSXdev'10 contest, including new graphics, new music and new challenges that I managed to fit in 32K. So he has my permission to sell it :)

     

    As I'm relatively new to Colecovision scene, currently I don't have plans to release ROM files for Colecovision, but who knows, maybe in the future.

     

    So go ahead without concerns and get your Zombie Near cartridge. ;)


  6. This raises an interesting point: I have roughly 150 customers registered at the moment, but Opcode has 220 registered pre-orders for the SGM. I know several people ordered two SGMs (don't really see the point, but to each his own, I guess) so I'm wondering exactly how many people haven't contacted me yet...

    It's somehow like comic collecting. If you want to collect AND read, you have to buy two comics, one to keep sealed and untouched, and the other to read, or in this case, to play :)
